Hi Jeffrey
Had similar setup (Dell + Nvidia card) with the same problem.
Solved it by installing the nv driver from livna.
Have you tried using the driver from rpm.livna.org?
To install the repo to yum:
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm

Then:
http://www.fedorafaq.org/#nvidia --> follow the instruction here to install and get the driver up and running.

Hello,

     I recently installed an Nvidia tnt2 agp 128-bit graphics card in my
computer.  I have Fedora Core 6 installed on a Dell Dimension xps t600r
desktop. I know that this is an old desktop and video card but I was
told that I could still get the desktop effects that comes with Fedora
Core 6. I tried to use desktop effects with this card but when I try to
enable it, it states that "Desktop Effects Could not be Started." or
something to that effect.  Are there special drivers that I need to
download for the NVidia card,or is it that the computer is too old to
use the Desktop Effects?
