I cannot seem to get the nvidia drivers to work:

    Compaq Presario R3000
    CPU:  AMD Athlon 64 3000+
    Vidio:   GeForce4 440 Go 64M
  
Installed FC3-x86_64 and yum'd.  grabbed the 
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-pkg2.run.  copyed the /dev/nvidia* to 
/etc/udev/devices.  Used several xorg.conf files that seemed to match my 
system.  I uninstalled the Mesa GL packages

rpm -e --nodeps --allmatches xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL

The startx apears to work from the ps -aef listing but all I get is a 
BLANK display - it flickers a few times during the startup and then 
nothing.  Doing a init 5 produces the exact same restult.

I mostly followed from 
http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/compaqr3000z-fc3.php and even used the 
xorg.conf listed.

I have obviously missed something - suggestions  and or pointers please!!!!!
