I have never ever been abe to install any redhat graphically with a
geforce card (tried geforce 2 mx, geforce 2 go, geforce 4 ti 4200,
different monitors, different computers, btw: a tnt2 worked without
problems), neither 8.0 nor 9 nor fedora. After the text based install
I've never been able to get X to run. I always had to get the binary
nvidia drivers to get X to run.
Have you ever put these problems in bugzilla?

Redistribution of the nvidia-driver is allowed. Wouldn't it be
possible
(perhaps as an extra ISO-image or whatever) to allow the use of the
binary driver from installation on? I understand that RedHat cannot
support that driver but as it's now fedora and that isn't supported
anyway, support issues shouldn't be a concern, or am I wrong there?
Distributing binary-only drivers is opposed to the goals of the Fedora
Project:

"Build the operating system exclusively from open source software."
