Download the package from nVidia: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/169.12/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.12-pkg2.run Drop to runlevel three, run (as root) the package: #sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.12-pkg2.run And it will build and install the modules you need and then install the driver. Bring up runlevel 5 again and enjoy. -- John (john@xxxxxxxxxxx) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
