after doing a little research on the wiki pages in fedoraforum, and a
little trial and error, I finall got this card to work.
(This is a nvidia fx 5500 btw)
Anyway the following worked for me
rpm -e nvidia-x11-drv
yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia ( which installed 3 packages, but not
the kernel)
---------------------------------------------------------
Installing:
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia i386 1.0.9629-1.lvn6 livna
4.5 M
Installing for dependencies:
kernel i686 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 updates
16 M
kmod-nvidia i686 1.0.9629-1.2.6.18_1.2849.fc6 livna
1.6 M
Transaction Summary
----------------------------------------------------------------
so another
yum install kmod-nvidia-xen
reboot, and shwalla, we're happy once again.
Don't know if any of that is usefull for anyone, but who knows
