If your using the Nvidia Drivers you need to change in Secton Device where
driver is "nv" to "nvidia" which is the name of the one in the nvidia
RPMS. If you need I can email you my XF86Config for you to look at. Be
sure you compiled and installed the kernel rpm and the NVdriver module is
loaded. Also you need to add a line to rc.local to load it when the machine
boots, you might also consider loading agpgart.
Toms Hardware has an excellent article on how-to Nvidia for linux.
