Thanks, well I made more progress but still need help.
First, when I installed Fedora I didn't choose to install any development stuff so the first rash of messages related to no gcc compiler etc. I did that, then the nvidia installer insisted on me stopping the xserver, being a newbie the only thing I could do was edit inittab to set run level 3 rather than 5 each time, I did that and the install went ok but did give a message saying I have to edit XConfig file (??). So I went back to runlevel 5, ran up kde and the simple test I have been using is to go to the screensavers and choose a GL one, they all failed before. Now, there is a difference - all screensavers fail!! What I get is just nothing, the "Test" button goes grey but thats all, at least before I got a black screen.
What should I have done after the install please? Thanks very much....
