Hi,
Have you installed nvidia propietary binary drivers?
Without them you won't be able to get the full set of features of your
card.
You need to enable an extra repository called rpmfusion and install the
nvidia drivers from there:
# yum install rpmfusion-free-release
# yum install rpmfusion-nonfree-release
# yum search nvidia
Look for the driver and then install it:
# yum install [driverName]
If you do so you should restart the X server getting out of the session and
log again.
For the sound problem i don't know what is happening, but you should go to
System -> Preferences ->Hardware ->Sound
and push the test button. If it works maybe you are trying to play music
in a proprietary format (mp3, wmv) and then you need
to install non free audio plugins.
Then you should do this:
# yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly
After that you should be able to play mp3 files if the problem where the
codecs.
Hope this helps.

I installed the nvidia driver like this:
1) I installed the rpmfusion repos
2) I did a yum install kmod-nvidia
3) I ran nvidia-xconfig
Still no luck. - my current xorg.conf file is below
I tried adding a Modes section to the Screen section like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1200"
EndSubSection
EndSection
but still no luck. If it matters, I installed CentOS and it immediately (even
without installing the nvidia drivers) gave me 1920x1200 - not sure if this is
helpful or not but it confirms that the card actually will run 1920x1200
Anyone have any other Ideas?
Thanks in advance...
