Geforce FX5200 problem

[mickeyboa]

I'm running Fedora core1 on a Dell Inspiron8600 with a Nvidia GeForce FX5200
I'm having big problems of running the nvidia_drv.0 drivers
I downloaded the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg.run and installed with no problem and got the
nvidia_drv.o driver.
I have attached the XF86Config, nvidia XFree86.0.log.
Could somebody give me some pointers and easiest driver to get working.
I have the "vesa" driver working okay.

Thanks Jim Tate

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the

# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
