That sounds like a good reason to use a properly packaged version of
the nvidia driver - one that doesn't overwrite other files on the
system and cause odd failures such as this. :)
Indeed. For this very reason I strongly recommend NOT using the
default nvidia
installer, but one of the packaged rpms from an FC repo, either
livna or
atrpms for instance. These rpms, almongst over useful these avoid
conflicts
like this.
I use a custom kernel (I need a different kernel stack size), so
using a packaged version is not an option for me.
