It's just not working with FC2 and nvidia now. There
is one work-around but it's not with FC2 kernel. That
way is as follows:

1) Download a non-FC2 kernel and compile with the
following parameters


CONFIG4_STACKS = n
CONFIG_REGPARMS = n


Recompile the kernel and then re-run the nvidia-5336
install and change your XF86Config as usual.

2) Another way is as follows: I've got a bunch of
VooDoo 3000 cards that I am substiuting for MX440
until an FC2 driver comes out. Apparently nvidia is
well aware of the problem.

The old VooDoo cards work perfectly, funny since that
was going to be one of the deprecated cards with FC2.
