Or .... yum install kmod-nvidia will probably work, or you could search for nvidia in whatever the new PackageKit tool is (probably under something like Add/Remove software in the menus). > > > You could take a look at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and see if is says > > things like "Oh look, I'm supposed to run this display at 1680x1050, but > > I don't think that's a good idea" :-). > > Doing that now ... > The log file will have lines with (NV) on them if you are using the nv driver.
