RedHat 8.0(2.4.18-24.8.0) X Windows configuration problem.

Joe,

First: it's generally frowned upon to cross-post to multiple
mailing lists.  This issue does not concern the XFree86 folks,
and they probably would appreciate not being burdened with
linux-bugs at nvidia.com email, so I've removed them from the cc.

Second: complete installation instructions for the NVIDIA driver is
included in the section (sec-02) INSTALLING THE NVIDIA_KERNEL AND
NVIDIA_GLX PACKAGES of the NVIDIA Linux driver README, linked to
from the NVIDIA Linux driver download page, and also available here:

    ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86_40/1.0-4191/README

Everything that I can say to help you with installation is already
described, in detail, in the README.

Please be aware that when you update the kernel (in this case to
2.4.18-24.8.0), then you must also install a matching NVIDIA_kernel
package.  If there is not an NVIDIA_kernel package that corresponds
to the kernel you are using, then you must compile the NVIDIA_kernel
package either from the source rpm or from the tarball.

I believe those are all framebuffer drivers,

What happened when you tried to install those files, according to
the instructions provided in the README?

Note that you will need to have the kernel headers installed for
the 2.4.18-24.8.0 kernel.  RedHat provides the configured kernel
headers in the kernel-sources-2.4.18-24.8.0 rpm.

Without more specifics about what problems you are encountering,
I cannot give you more specific advice.

I believe the next steps for you are:

- install the kernel-sources rpm that corresponds to the kernel
  you are running.

- build the NVIDIA_kernel rpm from the NVIDIA_kernel srpm, as
  described in the README.

- install the NVIDIA_kernel rpm

- install the NVIDIA_GLX rpm

- edit your XF86Config file as described in the README.

Please let me know if you have any problems.  If you encounter
errors, please include the error messages in your email.

I hope that helps,
- Andy
