complete and total system lock before it ever starts

[bts0004]

I just downloaded and installed the most recent drivers (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349). Everything with the install seemed to go just fine. No errors. I edited my XF86Config as appropriate. When I try to startx, my screen goes black immediately and then it looks like someone threw up on it. It's just a bunch of scrambled junk. Then it completely locks my entire system and I have to hit the reset button. I have been using the 'nv' driver just fine on this system at 1024 x 768, Hf running at 68.9kHz, Vf at 85Hz. Monitor is a Korea Data Systems Avitron AV-7T.

NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti 4200
Red Hat 9 (kernel 2.4.20-9)
Athlon XP 2000
Gigabyte GA-7VAXP

Thanks,
Brian
