Hello,

Please be bear with me. below are NOT spam, or junk.
I just want to make my linux x-windows work.

I have a question about my Laptop X Windows problem.
I have Dell Laptop Inspiron 2650 
"NVIDIA GeForce 2 Go" video driver with 16 RAM(Video Ram).

I have downloaded the driver which was required by
NVIDIA ( I have run the nvchooser.sh file 
on the laptop to verify which file I need.

I was told me that I need to download

#./NVchooser.sh
Please download and install the following files:
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.rh80up.i686.rpm
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm

For further installation directions, please see the README.

when I installed two files,

NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.rh80up_2.4.18_18.8.0.i686.rpm
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm

The reason I download the file
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.rh80up_2.4.18.8.0.i686.rpm
instead of NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.rh80up.i686.rpm
was that I couldn't find the exact name on the web page
NVIDIA
http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_display_ia32_1.0-4191

I installed these and ran  startx,
I got this error like below on the screen without any x-window:

I have tried this with 
#/etc/X11/xf86config

then I picked the these:

1024x768 and 24bits
HorizSync: 31.5-48.5
VertRefresh: 40-70

It doesn't help me at all.

Why I pick this number:
well, I saw these on the web, one guy posted his laptop Inspiron 2650
work fine with this configuration.
but not me.

Could you advise me what to do???

Thanks in advance,
