I imagine that you would want to remove all things related to Mesa. As 
stated, I left my nvidia computer alone for trying to install Linux on 
it. I also made it a point to avoid nvidia on the laptap that we purchased.

For pointers on getting nvidia drivers to compile for the 2.6 kernel. I 
suggest reading the fedora-test archives. It might be easier to find 
something relevent to nvidia by looking for posts in conversation with 
mharris at redhat. He is the current X server maintainer and explains 
the mesa vs. nvidia problem in great detail.

Sorry, not familiar with the nvidia compilation. Just some of the issues 
with the X server.

Have you tried using the nv driver provided in the X server programs?
