RH9 nvidia installation prints garbage on logo screen.
I have been spending the past week trying to install nvidia drivers on my computer.
Amd xp1700+
Soltek motherboard
Triplex Ti4200
The computer works fine after a clean install. The 2d part of my card is all good. It does 3d in windows really well too.

I do everything absolutely by the book. I have tried everything from bios changes to recompiling my kernal.
My XF86 config is perfect. When I startx It prints garbage where the nvidia logo should be. Then it feezes and I have to switch it off.
The garbage is like dollar signs and other strange characters.
There are no conflicts in the XF86 log either.
I'm just wondering if anybdy has seen anything like this? Can anybody help me?
