Description of problem:
When the nvidia 3d drivers are installed all works nicely, when you
reboot or shutdown etc. The drivers are not there and the graphical
boot does not load, once you get a login, you need to reinstall the
drivers. The installer complains about this, as it things they are
installed, then it works fine.

I have only tried this with the latest drivers but you might expect
this to be more compatable. 

Not sure if i should report this as it might be an nvidia problem
sorry if i made a mistake.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
default

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install drivers
2.Reboot
3.
    

Actual Results:  Need to reinstall drivers

Please report this problem to Nvidia via their customer technical
support, and they will likely address the issue in a future driver
update.  Nvidia might not officially support Red Hat Enterprise Linux
4 beta 1 at this juncture, however once Red Hat Enteprise Linux 4 is
officially released, they will probably release a new driver which
supports the final OS release.
                                                                     
                                                                     
                                                                     
       
Thanks for reporting this problem to Nvidia.
