I succeeded in getting graphics to work on my Gateway DX4720-03 by installing the
proprietary nVidia driver, following the instructions at
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration [1]
and then
http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia [2]
(specifically: yum install kmod-nvidia)
RPM Fusion does not have the very latest nVidia driver (available at
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html [3]), but the one they have works for the nVidia
GeForce 7100.
For the record, the Gateway DX4720-03 also needs the kernel option "noapic" in
order to boot.
The next time I buy a PC I'll steer away from nVidia hardware because there does not
seem to be any open-source driver for it. Hardware that requires a proprietary driver is
invidious.
