Hi.

Are you using the drivers from the nVidia site? The drivers that fedora uses by default are really just enough to make the card work.

Yes.

For me with a 2.4.22 kernel those drivers didn't work but the previous ones - 4496 worked brilliantly.

That's the one.

Make sure you read the installation instructions in the 'text README'.
