The easiest way to install the nvidia kernel would be by SRPM, so download it and do the following:

NOTE: Kernel source and rpmbuild must be installed(if it isn't, just go to Kicker\Configuration\Packaging\Install Software and search for the two).

Open up a terminal(CTRL+T) and execute the following commands:

su (and supply the root password)

rpm --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.src.rpm

rpm -ivh /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.i586.rpm

Then, install the GLX rpm, edit the XF86Config-4 file, and restart the X-server(CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE).

Also remember to comment out:

Load "GLCore"
Load "dri"

Comment both of those entries out.

Then, of course, as you said, make sure "nv" is "nvidia".

Last but not least, try a reboot! Sometimes "nv" hangs out and interferes with loading "nvidia". And make sure you did do the GLX driver...

It may be a BIOS configuration issue, as i discovered using the command below, in text mode

Code:

startx -- -verbose 5 -logverbose 5

and then looked up into /var/log/messages.

[plug&play OS] needed to be set to NO

[Assign IRQ to VGA] needed to be set to YES.

I did that and it worked, so i suggest Mortimer to check that out.
