Has anyone been sucessful running xfree 4.2.x on a toshiba satellite s5105-s501 (which 
uses nvidia geforce4 440 go)?

I installed RH 8 on my laptop, and I'm dying to see what X looks like in the highest 
resolution (1400x1050 on this laptop).  I installed the nvidia kernel and glx RPMs 
available on their site.  This is the error 
message I get in my XFree86.0.log:
 
"(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVdriver kernel module!"

I saw a post by Aaron Carass saying:

"This problem occurs when you don't have the kernel headers/source installed on your 
computer so when you built the nVidia Module from source it used the wrong 
headers/source.  Try installing the headers/source for your kernel, and recompile the 
nVidia Module."

Does this mean I have to install RH8 SRPMS, then install the 2 rpms provided by nvidia?

Thanks,

-Bob
