Try putting this line at the end of /ect/rc.d/rc.local:

rmmod rivafb

i try rmmod rivafb and it is saying "module not loaded"
i try to install new nvidia driver... it says that there is kernel support for rivafb module and modules cannot run together...

rivafb is probably compiled into the kernel so it's not being loaded as a module. I used to get that warning but I've never had any problem with the nvidia driver so the warning could probably be ignored. For a while I used to put this in the append line of lilo.conf:

video=rivafb

ff

but I've stopped doing that as well and have experienced no problem.
