Probably the card is too recent to have successful Open Source support
for the driver. NVidia does not release specifications and/or source
code to allow decent support for their products.

You probably could install the system using the vesa driver (Generic
support for video) using
linux xdriver=vesa
until you get your system installed. After the initial installation, you
might grab the NVidia binaries packaged up by one of the repos that has
the driver. You should also be able to get this from NVidia.

There is much to find related getting a NVidia video system up and
running in Linux. The most successful seem to be with using the closed
source binaries.
 
i'm gonna try that and see if it works. i'm currently running Fedora Core 4. with this one i had no problem with the graphical installer. if you know could you tell me what has changed so much in the graphical installer for the 6th version of Fedora? maybe that's the problem.... anyway i'm looking forward to the next distribution release.
