How do I use the T&L-feature on my Geforce in OpenGL? Or does the Nvidia-drivers already use the function without having me to do anything?

Go to www.nvidia.com and look in their developers section, they have several articles about using hardware T&L.

u dont have to alter your code to get hardware acceleration as long as u use the opengl commands eg glTranslate glLoadMatrix etc
