rebus, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it does not work for me. I downloaded both of the .src.rpm files, and they built fine. I installed them, made the necessary changes to XFConfig, and updated /etc/X11/prefdm (note: It seems odd that we're specifying kernel 2.2.5?)

When I start X the familiar Nvidia log displays briefly, but then it distorts and my computer locks. I can reboot using control-alt-delete, however the standard control-alt-f1 and similar does not work.

Do you have any additional suggestions? I'm running the NVidia 4 chip on a Dell Inspiron laptop.
