[SGVLUG] Monitor goes to sleep at startup

I got an HP D530 Ultra Small Footprint (circa 2003) minus memory, HD, & CD
at the TRW Swapmeet. I added a 512 stick and an IDE MythDora drive from
another system. All seems fine in BIOS, but as soon Fedora starts to boot,
the monitor goes to sleep. I'm assuming its a conflict with the drivers on
the disk and the (I think) Nvidia graphics of the HP.
I have the drivers from the HP site (probably Windows only?) that I could
put on the drive in its old system. Can anyone suggest the directory to add
them? Do you think that will work? Should I look for Fedora specific
drivers? Anyone have a D530 running Linux?
