NVIDIA Drivers in RH9

[Lukas Fried]

I have a GeForce 2 MX (32 MB) video card in my RH9 box and I'm trying 
to get NVIDIA's driver to work. I followed their instructions online: I 
downloaded the IA-32 driver and installed it after exiting the X 
Server. Then I updated my /etc/X11/XF86Config file to use the driver 
"nvidia" in the Device section and modified the "Module" section 
accordingly. My problem is that my computer usually locks up (except 
for the mouse, which can move but cannot click on anything) within a 
minute after booting or logging in. Sometimes it crashes altogether at 
the GDM login screen. I tried setting /etc/inittab so I could boot to 
runlevel 3 (non-GUI) and then switch to runlevel 5 from there, but my 
screen just goes to a bunch of indecipherable characters and a flashing 
green-and-red cursor. Finally I reverted to my old graphics settings, 
not knowing what else to do. Can someone please help me to fix this 
problem so I can boot into X without having my system crash?
