Hi

It is actually verey easey ;-)

GO to nvidia.com and download the src.rpm for both glx and the nv driver
Now do a rpm -Uvh <kernel>src.rpm
cd to /usr/src/RPM/SPECS/
now do a rpm -ba --clean --rmsorce <specfile>
When finished there will be a brand new rpm in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686/
Now install this with the command rpm -ivh <rpm> --nodeps --force
--replacefiles

Now do the same with the GLX src.rpm

Now edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file

Under section modules make ad Load  "dbe"
				Load "bitmap"
				Load "glx"
				Load "speedo"

in the graphics device section make sure Driver "nvidia"
					VideoRam "32768"

Now use the script I send with this and BOOM!

startx

Hope it helps
