NVIDIA drivers

[Jim Martin]

My solutions to this problem is simple, I edited /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

in the area marked
echo -n $"Initializing hardware... "

ide=""
scsi=""
network=""
audio=""
other="nvidia" <--- add this to it.

and it loads every time.

I am not sure if the problem is with Fedora, or with nVidia as some have 
cliamed. but this works for me.
