Hi Romel,

Thanks for the reply. I did see Axel's comments, and had similar output 
as you posted. It did not mean much to me though other than I noticed we 
were using the newer NVidia driver. I tried using my original X11 
config, as well as making the recommended changes, like you I could not 
get anything to work, except for removing the nvidia rpms. So I did this 
(rpm -e) and restored my original X11 settings. I then installed the 
NVidia driver, and when I could get in to KDE and no seg faults, I then 
updated the X11 settings again exactly from Jarod's instructions. I 
could now get into KDE fine using the nvidia driver!

So, I think I basically:
Swap out the following in Jarod's instructions:
# apt-get install nvidia-graphics-kmdl-$KERNEL
# apt-get install nvidia-graphics-glx
With the following:
# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run
Once I did this I re-started X (prior to updating the XF86Config), made 
sure all was still good. It was, so I continued on with the 
instructions. Also, the driver install could not find the kernel 
interface, so it compiled it (which thankfully completed =)  I hope that 
helps? 

I just saw the recent threads about the 4496 driver, thanks for those 
postings. I think I will stick with the 4363!
Thanks,
Curtis
