I installed RH7.3 with KDE I am running the GeForece 4 MX440 w/64MB DDR
and I selected the GeFore 4 DDR generic when I installed and everything
works fine.

My nvidia cards DO work right out of the box on Redhat.  However, they
aren't being used any near their full capabilities without using the
nvidia kernel patches.  Redhat don't support the nvidia patches since
the code is proprietary...if something goes wrong Redhat will request
you revert back to the standard kernel before providing support (this
has been beaten to death many times on the list). I believe that the
Redhat folks think highly of the ATI cards though.
