[mythtv-users] can't load nvidia 6106 or 6111 modules, and 6629 fails (FC3, ATrpms)

[Mike Jasper]

Hi,

I have blown away my FC1 install and am starting fresh with FC3 using 
Jarod's guide.  I am unable to install a working Nvidia module, though. 
  I tried 6629 and the module was loaded successfully, but the system 
just hangs at the Nvidia splash screen on bootup.  I then removed all 
traces of 6629 and installed 6111, but I can't get the nvidia module to 
load.  Same problem with 6106.  When I do '/sbin/modprobe nvidia', I get 
the "FATAL: Module nvidia not found" error.  If I do the exact same 
steps with 6629 the module is loaded just fine, but I have the splash 
screen hanging problem.

Thanks for any help.  I have a GeForce MX 440 graphics card.  Here is 
what I currently have installed:

# uname -r
2.6.9-1.724_FC3smp

# rpm -qa | grep nvidia
