So these drivers are supposed to work? Thanks for the info.
Yes, both nv and nouveau should be working. I can use either one
successfully with my fx5900xt agp card.
Is there any special configuration file modification needed? I only
seem to be able to work with vesa. The below contains information
related to nvidia and nvidiafb but my results were the same before I
installed the third party rpms. Interesting to know that they work
though.

Looks like you've still got the nvidia driver loading, which you don't
want. Either get it uninstalled and all the kmod stuff removed from
livna, or blacklist it temporarily in modprobe.conf. Just make sure if
you're trying to use nv or nouveau you don't have the nvidia module in
kernel at the time. I'm assuming you just ran lspci while nvidia was
loaded, but its pointless to have that kernel module load at all right now.

nv or nouveau both failed to load before I added nvidia third party
nvidia drivers later. I booted up with the third party packages
installed and manually edited the xorg.conf file trying nv, nouveau and
finally trying vesa to get X running. Nvidia was contained in the
xorg.conf file originally. Maybe the access denied for capabilities is
the problem I am encountering.
I removed the third party items and knowing it should work try to see if
I can get nv or nouveau to work. Knowing that they should work is
helpful information. SELinux is suspect since access denied is mentioned
for capabilities.
