Re: kmod-nvidia not working in kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5

I guess the new updates of fedora 5 is ok. I have installed the nvidia
driver ( I don't know about livna yet). so far, its behaving well, 2D
and 3D are both working well.. What i did was

yum update
install nvidia
yum update again.

may be it could have worked if

yum update
install driver from livna
yum update again

I don't know why second update did some magic to my box.

I guess there are also other factors behind the corrpution of
directories and other problems (may be bug in fedora itself). but so
far i haven't seen any weiredness in my box yet as mentioned before
like directory corruptions. Its working well and I am happy.

Thanks

Like I said, I feel your pain. It's got to be acutely so, when you take
your own time, and apply it to something out of a desire to assist
others, only to have your efforts thrown back at you or simply ignored
when you attempt to pass feedback up the stream to the source of the
problems.

It's frustrating for me, for the simple reason that I'd mostly just like
the 2D basic screen refresh to be accelerated so that I could work
somewhat more efficiently. (and having nifty-looking screensavers to
entertain me occasionally) (and eventually perhaps having a few games to
play of a more complex nature, like one of the Unreal series)

Faced with random gradual system corruption, on the other hand, I have
little choice but to succumb to the inevitable.

The worst is having no conclusive, irrefutable proof in the form of
kernel messages, that the nvidia driver is without a doubt the culprit
of my recent experiences. Time will tell. I'd love to be proven wrong.

I miss 3dfx, and wish they hadn't lagged behind and been swallowed up by
nvidia.

Thanks again for all your help. I realize this may not count for much,
but I've been using the kmod_nvidia for quite a while now; on FC4 as
well. Your efforts with easing the pain of installation paid off well --
This is one area that pleased me no end. :)
