All is well now!
Tux Racer glides along smoothly and quickly.
Quake III Arena rocks.
Thanks for the suggestion Iman.
I took your advice and used NVchooser.sh, which recommended I rebuild the kernel driver using the NVIDIA-kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm. It also recommended the NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.i386.rpm for my Athlon XP 2000+ system. I installed both files, tweaked the XF86config file as instructed and wala! great 3D video.
