hi, after installing the linux on my machine i was facing some problem with 
the X window system. it was simply not starting. so i ran the "nvchooser.sh" 
and found out what display drivers are required for my machine.
after installing the packages namely :

NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.rh73up.i686.rpm

NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960.i386.rpm

i am still not able to start the X windows system. the error i m getting is 
this :
