HELP: GeForce 4 vs. Fedora Core 3

[kevingpo]

I just installed NVIDIA GeForce 4 linux drivers on my PC which is using Fedora Core 3. I used init 3 and then init 5 to shutdown X and then bring back X. I changed my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file according to the readme that came with the drivers from the official site. I saw the NVIDIA logo as X started. Everything seems fine.

I rebooted PC and then I get this:

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

HELP!

Do a search before posting new topics. The Fedora Core 3/Nvidia problem has been asked about many many times (and possible fixes have been offered). Perhaps another kind poster will give you some links to these threads.

Don't worry guys. I googled +"Fedora Core 3" +nVidia and found this useful advice:

That fix is noted on Fedora Core's site.
