Hi I am having problems with my nvidia card mys system is as follows

dell dimension P4 1.8Ghz

After following the nvidia readme file i have a config file that looks like the following
......

Load "dbe"
Load "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so"
Load "glx"

EndSection

There's no mention of the fbdev driver in the configuration file you posted, are you sure you edited /etc/X11/XF86Config ?

Yeh it was definately the XF86Config file! that is why I am stumped
