Sounds like OpenGL or your X server isn't properly set up.

Yeah, you need to go get nVidia's proprietary kernel module and X
driver if you haven't yet. nVidia is being quite bogus about this

their software in a reasonable and fair manner, so don't expect the
driver situation to improve much until you get a non nVidia card.
