Thanks Jason.<br>
<br>
I tried nvidia-graphics100.14.11 but with it X was not starting. Based on the errors it<br>
gave, I decided I needed to use an older version.<br>
<br>
Checking <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html">http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html</a>, I found <br>
that the 96xx driver should support my GeForce4 MX 440 card.<br>
<br>
So, I installed that from <a href="http://atrpms.net">atrpms.net</a>.<br>
<br>
[root@zion drivers]# yum list installed | grep nvidia<br>
nvidia-graphics-devices.noarch 1.0-5.fc7 installed <br>
nvidia-graphics-helpers.i386 0.0.21-22.fc7 installed <br>
nvidia-graphics9639.i386 1:1.0_9639-83.1.fc7 installed <br>
nvidia-graphics9639-kmdl-2.6.21-1.3194.f 1:1.0_9639-83.1.fc7 installed <br>
nvidia-graphics9639-libs.i386 1:1.0_9639-83.1.fc7 installed <br>
[root@zion drivers]# <br>
<br>However, on restart of X, it complained that it failed to load<br>
module "nvidia"<br>
<br>
If I check, I do have a nvidia_drv.o that is a soft link to the new driver.<br>
[root@zion drivers]# pwd<br>
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers<br>
[root@zion drivers]# ls -l nvidia*<br>
