kmod-nvidia not working in kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5

[Deepak Shrestha]

But I did the nvidia installation as instructed in
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc5.html#nvidia

I checked if kmod-nvidia is really installed or not through rpm and it says
it is installed.
------------------
$ rpm -q kmod-nvidia
kmod-nvidia-1.0.8762-2.2.6.17_1.2139_FC5
----------------------

Now I am confused.
