When I follow this wiki and try startx I get failure because 3 modules do not exist
nouveau
nv
fbdex
maybe not in my kernel version 2.6.32.14-127.fc12.i686 ?
I have an Nvidia card in this old box
Thanks for looking into this!

Not sure what the problem could be. Suggest you google installing gnome desktop to fedora 12. Might find some help there.
Also, is your system updated with the latest Fedora 12 patches? That might be a cause. Since you are using nVidia card, you would need the RPMFusion repos to get the correct drivers. That could be the issue as well.

Awesome. Could you add what you did to the wiki page? It would help other users who might have the same issue.
We would greatly appreciate it!
