Is there any reason you are using RH9?

RH9 was released in 2003, and support was discontinued in 2004. It is very outdated in almost all areas, and no longer receives security updates. I suggest that you try out a recent, supported distro such as Fedora Core 6 (successor to the RH line), Ubuntu (good for newbies) or many others.

Both of the distro's that I mentioned have a very easy way to install the Nvidia drivers through its package manager. You simply have to use Yum or Apt respectively to install the correct package. It is very easy. If you need more help on this, just ask.

Upgrading to a newer distro will give you a much better overall experience, as you will get newer versions of almost all programs.

I must have to use Red hat 9.0

hi,
I must have to use RH9. Because our interactive (for Touch screen) application supports RH9 only.
So pls give me a detailed steps about installing and configuring NVIDIA NX7300LE card in RH9?
or give some tips about RH9 supported PCI-E cards.

Perhaps you can try getting another touchscreen program? Maybe try installing that application under Fedora and see what happens?

You will have an extremely hard time installing the drivers under RH9 - it is so old it is just not funny. Would you attempt to install a modern graphics card under Windows 3.1 and expect it to work? This is the equivalent of RH9 in Linux terms.

Maybe try getting a graphics card that RH9 supports. Search google for information on this, and you may be able to get one 2nd hand somewhere.
