Just make sure you have the kernel source installed.
A quick Guide:
--------------
Its really pretty easy, just down load the src rpms, then:
rpm --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel-version.src.rpm
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/NVIDIA_kernel-version.i386.rpm
same for the GLX drivers.
edit the following file: /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
and remove any referance to:
Load "glcore"
Load "dri"
and make sure you have
Load "glx"
(other wise no 3D acceleration)
in the modules section near the top.
where it mentions you're card, change the driver to read "nvidia"
also around the bottom remove any reference to DRI, as this clashes with
Nvidia's own drivers.
Also if depending upon what card driver toyu want to load add the
following option to the Monitor section:
Load "NvAGP" "1" # Nvidia Driver ( I use this one)
or
Load "NvagP" "3" # try internal kernel driver, then Nvidia (I think)
If it doesn't work check out the XFree86 log:
/var/log/XFree86.0.log( I think)
and also run (to get the status of you're card & drivers):
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0 # Find out what you're card is
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status # See what drivers it using
Hope that helps
Mark
