When I wished to upgrade to Fedora Core 5, I did an Internet search.
I found the website which proved helpful for me:
http://www.stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html#nVidia
I have no association with this website.

By following instructions on this website, I was able to use
kmod-nvidia on my Dell Latitude D800 laptop,
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV28 [GeForce4
Ti 4200 Go
AGP 8x] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 0179
Flags: bus master, VGA palette snoop, 66MHz, medium devsel,
latency 248,
IRQ 11


One thing mentioned at the above website was the following:
" * To prevent SElinux problems with the ATI fglrx or nVidia
modules type the following in the root terminal:

setsebool -P allow_execstack=1

Hit enter. Also type:

setsebool -P allow_execmod=1

Hit enter. Reboot your machine. Your ATI fglrx or nVidia drivers
should be enabled after you reboot.
"

I am wondering if this might be your problem.

Please don't flame me if you've already thought of this or this
doesn't help. I'm trying to help...and I am no expert on Fedora or
video cards or graphics so I may not be of much help.

No flames here my friend. Thanks for the effort.

I had not even considered that SELinux might have been involved. I
guess that's cause I don't have it enabled at all.

Anyway...looks like a good call
