I had similar problem until I switched to the "nvidia" driver downloaded from the Nvidia web site. (Drivers > Linux > IA32 [for Intel/AMD 32 bit]

Read the key parts of the 54 page README file -- but it is basically plug and play since the ".run" file they provide handles most of the heavy lifting.

  This card should be supported by the "nv" driver that comes
with XFree86 4.3.  I believe XFree86 4.3 is what comes with Red Hat 9.
We'll need to see the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file to see what the
problem is.

I am using RedHat Linux #9 with an Asus P4P800 i865 800FSB and NVIDIA
GEFORCE-FX 128MB card and ViewSonic E90fb monitor. All is well during
install in text mode including opening page and non-text buttons and all
is well operating in text mode but monitor blacks out when I try to
'startx' and view meter screen shows small vertical and horiz numbers
and 'status' OVER message. (I have not yet determined what a viewmeter
does or is trying to tell me and I have no idea of how to access the
interactive 'viewmatch' within the viwsonic monitio system. I can't
adjust settings through 'Xconfigurator' as the screen goes black. Though
I chose the correct monitor and NVIDIA GEFORCE-FX (generic) settings in
original install the XF86Configuration file does not reflect those
choices.
I have not yet tried to change the file settings with vi - is this my
next step?
Anyone got any ideas? I am not a total newbie as I have been working for
over a year on various Beowulf system setups with Linux. But, I am not a
programmer or sys mgr yet -
(still in the role of sorcerer's apprentice at this time) My 'day job'
is 5th grade teacher.
Any help or directions towards help will be very much appreciated -
thanks
