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:

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.
Sorry, but this is an issue specific to Red Hat modified kernels, not an
XFree86 one. Talk to them.
