Been there, Done That!  Problem could be related to
other thread "RE: Kernel 2054 breaks nvidia.ko
loading", but I can compile the kernel on my own if
that is the case.   I am on the discuss at linmodems.org
list as I remember you are there or were there at one
point.   Anyhow something is not working as it should
and I just brought it up, in case other users might
have the same problem.  Out of curiousity, I just
installed the nvidia drivers on an FC4 machine with
kernel 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8178-pkg1.run

for an nvdia graphics card, 

00:09.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation
NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX 100 DDR/200 DDR] (rev b2)

and installed the driver.  Everything works
beautifully.  Thanks to you guys.  I'm still figuring
many things out.  

Regards,

Antonio
