My hardware: NVIDIA Riva TNT2(Pro)

I've installed last driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run). Installer compiled kernel modules (informed me about that), but i have errors and can't start X :(

Cut from log:

[...]

(II) LoadModule: "GLcore"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module GLcore
(II) UnloadModule: "GLcore"
(EE) Failed to load module "GLcore" (module does not exist, 0)

[...]

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(II) UnloadModule: "vgahw"
(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

What's going on? Please, HELP :(

read the readme file......

you need to remove the lines load glcore and load dri from your xfree86 file..... it appears from the log that glcore is still loading.

it's ok now, but i have black BOX (with some coloured strip on the left) on CENTER of the screen and i can't kill this BOX normally.

This box disappear when i run for example xvidtune and move screen (right or whatever)

I've DONE it :)

This errors was because i used rivafb (framebuffer) compiled into kernel. Now i removed rivafb from my kernel and everything is OK.
