Thanks all for helping,

I have an eVGA GeForce 6800 GT and i am running Fedora Core 5.
I installed the Nvidia driver per instructions at
ttp://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc5.html#nvidia
Everytime i change to the Nvidia driver, X will not load all the way.
X will error out and dump me to the command prompt with the following
error:

anyway to fix this?

More Information,

I reinstalled Fedora Core 5 and the nvidia driver per instructions from
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc5.html#nvidia
I noticed during rebooting that the Nvidia module did not load. I am
at wits end and ready to give up.

Thanks
