Hello,

I have checked lsmod,
I don't see any nvidia or NVdriver, whatsoever.
I have updated the Redhat to 2.4.18-24.8.0.

but there is no improvement yet.

How can I load nvidia module since there is no driver in the system?
I can see other drivers like riva, sis, matrox, aty under
/lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/kernel/drivers/video/

I have downloaded 
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.src.rpm
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm

It seems like those files do nothing for video driver.

Could you give me more specific advices instead of
a bunch of possibilities I may have like that.

I have video card:
"GeForce 2 GO" from NVIDIO
with 16MB video RAM on Dell Laptop Inspiron 2650.

I also tried some people suggested like:
modprobe NVdriver
modprobe nvidia

None of them work.
It simply give message like this:
modprobe: Can't locate module nvidia

Jason commented to check the directory
/lib/moduels/2.4.18-24.8.0/kernel/drivers/char/drm/

There is no such a module at all.
in my system I have these:
i810.o
i830.o
mga.o
r128.o
radeon.o
sis.o
tdfx.o

That's all.

Could you give me an yelling?

Thanks!
