[PlanetCCRMA] nVidia video drivers

[Link Swanson]

I'm running FC4 CCRMA with the 2.6.14-0.10.rrt kernel and I just 
upgraded to a socket 939 board with GeForce 6100 onboard video. I just 
installed the nVidia display drivers and now I'm having X trouble every 
few times I boot.

Just as the boot process hits runlevel 5 it displays some pixely stuff 
and then either (1)  splashes the nVidia logo and boots just fine or (2) 
hangs with a black screen, requiring a hard shutdown.

When I do get into KDE (about once every three boots; I have no idea why 
it decides to work) my system-config-display hardware tab reports VESA 
drivers installed.

If anyone can give pointers on how to troubleshoot this, I would love it!

Here's my xorg.conf file:

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "Files"

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name 
of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
    RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
    FontPath     "unix/:7100"

Section "InputDevice"

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
#    Option    "Xleds"        "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
#    Option    "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
#    Option    "XkbModel"    "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#    Option    "XkbModel"    "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#    Option    "XkbLayout"    "de"
# or:
#    Option    "XkbLayout"    "de"
#    Option    "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#    Option    "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
#    Option    "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:nocaps"
