The latest driver worked just fine for me (I have an old GeForce 2).
Just follow these instructions:

particularly step 11.



I run 1.0-6629 driver for my GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X on FC3, but not with FC3's kernel. I use vanilla 2.6.9 from kernel.org instead and I not need do step 11 at all. All works well here:

$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status Status: Enabled
Driver: AGPGART
AGP Rate: 8x
Fast Writes: Enabled
SBA: Enabled




Does X start when you reboot your system? Apparently, the nvidia device drivers are not automatically created in /dev at boot time so they are not available when X tries to start (at least not on my system). Placing copies of the drivers in /etc/udev/devices tells the udev system to create the drivers in /dev so that they are available when X starts.
