Use command xf86config and select RIVA TNT2.  Edit XF86Config if server still
won't start.  My mouse is on /dev/psaux(my answer to the mouse question even
though /dev/mouse is symlinked to it.)  You need the "nv" driver.  I don't
know which X you use but in the newest nv it is not in a separate  rpm.   I
don't use redhat but when this happened I started compiling the cvs at
www.xfree86.org.  I think someone said the card database was put into
XConfigurator but something is missing so get an old rpm of NVidia driver and
then run xf86config to get a different XF86config file if you have all the
rpms from the past couple of months.  Try downgrading to get the server
working so you can get a new server from the X website. I have 128M ram and I
have to use a text console just to compile it because it takes so much memory
and it is almost a gig so you need space but it does compile with 2.95.2 and
2.95.3.  I think alot of  people are now doing this because of the bad 4.0.1
rpms.
