Nvidia Drivers and OpenGL

Fresh FC5 install. NVidia Gforce 6800 PCI-e. I just installed 3d support last night via instructions from fedorafaq. My only question is , OpenGL. None of my OpenGL screen savers will display? Is there a special OPenGL driver I have to install? Some extra module? Also, which way would I want to go about this if I plan to try and use XGL sometime in the future? Thanks All!

Edit: perfect example. I just installed GoogleEarth for Linux, when I run from terminal I see the error cannot find GLX on Display....ect ect. Any ideas?
I also get the message from GoogleEarth on startup "Google Earth is unable to identify your graphics card. So, if an OpenGL application is unable to decide what graphics card I am operating on, would that not mean that the driver isn't fully installed or something to that effect?
