Fedora 4 - Nvidia Driver

I recently upgraded to Fedora 4 from Red Hat 9. I am having trouble getting my nvidia driver to work properly. I change the xorg.conf file, like it says in Nvidia's readme, then run the installer. It says that it can't find the kernel source and that I need to install the 'kernel-source' rpm. I downloaded a file called kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm. I'm not entirely sure that this is the file that I needed, and the Nvidia install still gives me the same error after I ran the file. Does anyone know how I can get my Nvidia driver working properly?

You should be able to find the kernel source and headers RPMs on your Fedora installation CDs. One one of them will be two files like kernel-source-2.6.x.x.x.rpm and kernel-headers-2.6.x.x.x.rpm. Install both of these (eg: rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/path/to/kernel-source-2.6.x.x.x.rpm) and then try compiling again.
