When i install those drivers, i cant start X. i've tried everything, but

Welcome to the world of binary only drivers.
NVidia needs to fix this, there is nothing we can do about this.
The latest FC2-kernel with which NVidia binary only modules work is 2.6.3-1.118
as far as I know.

If you know how to compile the kernel you can fix it.
Go to your kernel source directory and use "make menuconfig" to
enter the kernel configuration.
Disable: "Use 4k kernel stacks instead of 8k stacks" (Kernel Hacking)
Build the new kernel and boot with it. If everything works you should
be able to use the nvidia drivers.
I am running the latest kernel with the nvidia drivers from the development
tree with this fix.
