Nvidia Install
My problem is after the install and typing init 5, i dont get the splash screen and i cant even see the logon screen the display is out to lunch. grey strip on the side white on the bottom blue in the middle. and you can only see the mouse when yo move it to the bottom of the screen and then it makes a vertical line that goes all the way to the top of the screen.
My computer:
HP Pavillion ZV5000 Laptop, 64bit 3000
Nvidia GeForce 440 64M
15.4" widescreen flatpanel lcd
running Fedora Core ix86 and trying to install the x86 7174 nvidia driver
this is a fresh install aswell running 2.6.10 kernel and all updates
Here is my Xorg.conf altered so that i could get the computer to boot back into X properly.

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
