That's should not really matter cause i run it at college and home, eventually get the same(also at home it's random, sometimes it even won't load, but that's not a problem i need to solve right now) anyway it is NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE at home and i don't know about college's pc. And it's Fedora 8
Sorry but it actually matters a lot. The nVidia driver is a binary blob. You need to find the correct driver for your particular kernel version.

Add vga=ask to your kernel boot command line. The valid modes are listed in this blog Project Plymouth
