I did not have kernel-sources installed. Once they were installed, I still got an error and discovered that the "alias /dev/nvidia" got appended to the tail of my "alias emu10k1" sound card (something like that) and thus neither worked. So when I moved the nvidia alias to a new line sound and the Nvidia card started working. Life is good again, Tux fairly flys.

I've got i586 nvidia rpms for the 2.4.19-1, -2, -3, and -4 kernels and can send you whichever ones you need if you would like.
