I had a problem getting my nvidia GeForce 4 Ti4600 accepting valid screen definitions. I had already downloaded and installed the drivers (src rpms) and glx packages from nvidia.com. I finally got valid screen definitions by using redhat-config-xfree86 going into advanced and manually setting the DPI. I could only get 800x600 resolution though. So I forced the nv_drv.o driver in the video card designation. This caused a seg fault when loading the GLX. Reading the output in /var/log/XFree86.0.log indicated that nv_drv.o did not support the GeForce 4. So I read through the sample XF86Config file in /var/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0. This file specified I should be using the nvidia_drv.o not the nv_drv.o so I converted the driver and added the screen references specified in the sample XF86Config file and bingo the server comes up fine. When I reentered redhat-config-xfree86 I know have resolution up 1600x1200 in 24 bit screen depth.. Now if I could only get my emu10k1 SB Live! card to work. But that is another request.
