Do they have an archive of old drivers?

I used a patched version of NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8178-pkg2.run on
Fedora Core 5 with my x86_64, and perhaps on Fedora Core 6 too (which
shipped with 2.6.18). Perhaps you could try the i386 version of that?

You could also try Nouveau <http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/>, which
is a Free Software NVidia 3D driver. It looks hard to install.

I tried the version of Nouveau shipped with Fedora 7 on my laptop, and
it didn't work very well, so I switched back to the 2D-only "nv" driver.

Bye, Rich =]
