Because of the changes in the xorg abi and the 2.6.25 kernel, none of those are going to build. nVIDIA needs to release a new set of drivers to support Fedora 9 and/or xorg 1.5. There is a beta but you have to disable most of the useful bits to get it to work. (And the beta does not work at all if you have a video card only supported in the legacy drivers.) nVIDIA claims that they will release new drivers when the xorg 1.5 final is released. (Even though they know there are no more changes to the abi.) When that will be is anyones guess. It was supposed to be this month, but the x.org wiki is missing any meaningful release date information. I hope it is soon. The nv driver is slow on this box and the nouveau driver pukes blood on this chipset. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
