I am trying to setup my myth box with an nvidia geforce 5200 agp card.  when after i install and restart X my system is fine for about a minute then it freezes.  I cannot exit to command line but my mouse still works so I need to reboot and change the driver.

I run this (with no errors):
echo "export KVER=\`uname -r\`" >> /etc/profile.d/kver.sh  - then i reboot
yum -y install nvidia-graphics8776-kmdl-$KVER
yum -y install nvidia-graphics8776-libs nvidia-graphics8776


When its done my xorg.conf file looks like this:
