Please help me :(
I had a perfectly good Redhat WS3 working with the lastest kernel and video driver for my nvidia FX 1300 when I made the mistake of attempting to add dialbox support onto it. In the process of updating packages it broke the video. I am getting the following error messages:
make install

Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
and it has unresolved symbols. The module may be trying to access
GPLONLY symbols but the problem is more likely to be a coding or
user error. Contact the module supplier for assistance, only they
can help you.

It does work in Vesa mode but nothing else. I have tried to undo all the updates and reloaded XFree86 to no avail.
Thanks for any suggestions!

PS I have just enough knowledge to get myself into trouble.
