Make sure you edit the xorg.conf file (make a copy of the original first!)
before using the new driver as per the instructions, i.e. change Load "nv"
to "nvidia", also make sure Load "glx" is there. You need to *remove* some
commands if they are there, namely Load "dri" and "GLcore".
Best way to install is to boot and stop at init 3 (single-user mode), run
the script, check/edit xorg.conf, then re-boot.
Worked perfectly for me! I am using the latest FC3 kernel available. The
frame rates are a lot faster than the stock driver, you can see it when
playing Tux Race :-)
