[elrepo] nVidia 185.18.36 GigaByte 8500GT RHEL/Centos 5.3 driver not working in init 5

[Ljubomir Ljubojevic]

Yes. Actualy, it gives me option for 320x240 and 640x480.

I have compared Xorg's log for both init 5 and init 3,and with init 5 it 
  looks like xorg.conf is not being used at all, but the default 
configuration incorporated into /usr/bin/Xorg (etc/X11/X).

When I installed the CentOS 5.3, Anaconda was not able to run in GUI 
mode, I had to install it in text mode. I then added firstly nvidia 
packages from Atrpms, then tried kmod's from ElRepo. Same thing in both 
cases.
