1. Go to http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_display_archive and download two RPMs: the 1st RPM is the appropriate kernel module for your distribution and the 2nd RPM is the "generic" GLX driver good for all installations. The most recent RPMs are: NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.<distribution>.i586.rpm NVIDIA_GLX-1.0.3123.i386.rpm 2. Install the RPMs in this order: RPM -ivh NVIDIA_kernel-1.0.3123.<distribution>.i586.rpm RPM -ivh NVIDIA_GLX-1.0.3123.i386.rpm 3. You will have to create your XF86Config-4 file using XFree86 --configure or something else. I found one on the Linux on Laptops web site and used almost everything in the file for mine without running the config. My laptop sports a 1600x1200 LCD panel. My config file supports both a bus mouse AND a USB Microsoft wheel mouse. If you want, you can try copying this XF86Config-4 file to your machine. Save your original first "mv XF86Config-4 XF86Config-4.org" and then give this a try.

possibly going to the Nvidia Website and downloading their closed source driver (as well as the HOWTO) might be also a solution...
