I am new to installing drivers etc. Could you possible give me a few

RPMForge makes installing the nvidia drivers reasonably easy. Simply
run 'yum install nvidia-x11-drv' and then reboot.
Instructions for RPMForge are at

Hi again,
I have followed Jim's instructions to add the RPMforge repository and
to download the nvidia-x11-drv driver from there.
When rebooting after this the system instruct me to re-configure the
X11 configuration, when doing this using the "gui" screens provided I
cannot select a screen but can select the nVidia card and then the
nVidia driver. The configuration generated still does not work - I
attach a copy of the Xorg.0.log generated. In this log there is a
mention of using the GLX driver/module from nVidia.
While inspecting /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions I noticed a
sub-directory "nvida" that contained a file "libglx.so". I renamed the
libglx.so file in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions and copied the
file in the nvidia sub directory into it's place - and rebooted. The
reconfiguration of X11 still would not allow me to select a screen and
also did not work. I attach a copy of the Xorg log "Xorg.0.log.2"
where it seems as if the correct GLX module has now been found but
without giving me a useable X11 configuration.
Any suggestion on how to proceed from here would be welcome - if
entails getting another graphics card please suggest a suitable card
that will run without hassles.
TIA

Hi All,
I have finally found the solution to the problem of the invisible mouse
pointer - from a tip given to me by Chris from Tangent Systems.
When you insert an Option line as shown below in the "Device" section of
the xorg.conf file the mouse pointer stays visible.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
Option "HWCursor" "off"
EndSection
