Hi Guys

Now that I have a "Working" FC5 install I decided to start with adding
the Nvidia Driver to my Kernel, no problems I thought.

Downloaded and started doing the install as normal from console, said
it required the GCC stuff and the Kernel Devel, installed those.
Nvidia installed, great I thought, started editing my Xorg.conf so
that my Geforce Go 6200 TC would be able to use the driver. Changed
driver to "nvidia" as per normal, rebooted and no xserver. So I tried
again and added the extra specifics for my laptop such as the
Modeline. Happened again so this time I put in "nv" instead of "nvidia
and it worked?

Not sure what is going on as X wouldnt output a detailed problem.

Matt
