Nvidia drivers

I tried installing the nvidia drivers, now I get a blank screen. I used the rescue drive to modify the xorg.conf file back to how it was, but i still get blank screens. Is there any way to go back to the old way?

I haven't heard of an xorg.conf file in relation to nvidia drivers..

Did you read the readme at the nvidia download page and modify your /etc/X11/XF86Config file accordingly.

In Fedora core 2 there is no XF86Conf file, it has changed to xorg.conf

Nevermind, I was smart and backed up xorg.conf before I installed the driver. I simply replaced it and got X working again.

Thanks!

I did not know that.
Learn something new every day.

Pretty soon, everything we know is wrong.

Did you get your nVidia card working without recompiling your kernel? Or are you just settling for a non-functional card? I'm really not wanting to recompile anything.
