I am having a problem getting the New NVIDIA 5328 drivers to work with
Kernel 2.4.22-1.2135.nptl. When I type "startx" my screen just goes
blank. I have a GeForce 2 card. Everything worked fine with the 4496
drivers using the following procedure:

1. Go to http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-5328.html
<http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-4496.html> 
2. Download NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg2.run
3. Boot system in text mode (edit /etc/inittab and set run level to 3)
3. type "export CC=gcc32"
4. type "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg2.run"
5. Edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file as described in the readme file
6. Boot the system in Gui mode (edit /etc/inittab and set run level to
5)

Doing a CTRL-ALT-Backspace to restore the console does not work. I have
to do a CTRL-ATL-Del and reboot. Does anyone have any suggestions?
