Ok, here's an update from myself, the original poster of this thread.
I had a few teething problems with the nvidia installer (especially in the context of xorg.conf)
All works ok except:
- my kernel was upgraded to 2.6.10, make sure you add the --add-this-kernel option when installing nvidia drivers:
> sh NVIDIA-blah blah....run --add-this-kernel
and run the NVIDIA file again, this time the custom file that was just generated by the command above.
- device permission problem, I had to fix it by:
> chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia*
> chown root /dev/nvidia*
and reboot your computer
That way your xorg.conf file will not be reverted back to its original version - sounds complicated, huh?? but take my word for it ;-)
All done.
P.S. My linux distro is Fedora Core 3
Kernel: 2.6.10
