thanks for any help
Download the driver from nvidia and run the program. It does not need the
source. There are good reasons to have it (like getting cardbus to work
on an hp zv5000z) but this is not one of them.
You will want the next to last version of the driver. The latest version
does not work on Fedora Core 3. (Or at least not on my system.)
The latest driver worked just fine for me (I have an old GeForce 2).
Just follow these instructions:

particularly step 11.
