Thanks, It has been a while since I had installed the drivers.
Fortunately
I still had the original installer on a thumb drive. I ran it with
"--uninstall". It complained a little but did succeed. I rebooted and sure
enough, all I got was a login prompt; No GUI. I yum installed the
kernel-module-nvidia... package and rebooted again, just for fun, and
everything came up.
Thank you all for your assistance!

Use the --uninstall option.

As I tried yesterday, the Nvidia driver download from Nvidia 8756 putt
into a path /usr/X11R6/lib which is wrong and X11 in Fedora Core 5 is
renamed which is /usr/lib/xorg/modules and some path changed. So If u
install the Nvidia driver from Nvidia site which is faster than livna
but need to put it into right path by manual or making a symbolic link
to it. I have tried and it also work...
Fianlly, I choose livna because it is easy and convenience
