I ran yum install nvidia-graphics again and it says there's nothign to
update - the driver is already installed. Here's the bits from
xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Panasonic"
        ModelName    "TH-50PX600A"
 ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
        HorizSync    31.5 - 37.9
        VertRefresh  50.0 - 70.0
        Option      "dpms" "off"
        Option       "DPI" "100 x 100"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     16
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
                Modes    "1366x768_60" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        ### Password file for built-in VNC - see vncpasswd util
        Option      "passwordFile" "/home/mythtv/.vnc/passwd"
EndSection

And here's the error in Xorg.0.log if I try to use nvidia as the driver:
...
(II) LoadModule: "vnc"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so
(II) Module vnc: vendor="RealVNC Ltd"

        Module class: X.Org Server Extension

So at the moment X only runs if vesa is the driver. UNLESS - I go back
to version 8774 but that's no good because I need the ModePool in 9xxx
to get the right resolution on my new HD plasma TV. Could this be a
bug in the binary RPM package for the 9746 driver. perhaps?
