Hi

My version of Rocket Science !!

John


A new day !! A clean start
As ja
cd ~
rm -rf rpmbuild
rpmdev-setuptree
This downloads source rpms into home directory
yumdownloader --enable=livna --source nvidia-kmod-173.14.12-2.lvn9.
yumdownloader --enable=livna --source xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.lvn9

This rebuilds the binary rpms in the rpmbuild directory structure
rpmbuild --rebuild nvidia-kmod-173.14.12-2.lvn9.src.rpm --define "kernels $(uname -r)" --target $(uname -m)
rpmbuild --rebuild xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.lvn9.src.rpm --define "kernels $(uname -r)" --target $(uname -m)

su
cd rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64
ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 ja sysadmin 2688970 2008-08-16 09:45 kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64-173.14.12-2.fc9.x86_64.rpm

yum --nogpgcheck localinstall \
kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64-173.14.12-2.fc9.x86_64.rpm \
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm \
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-173.14.12-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm

Add remove livna/nvidia rpms as yum complains and repeat above
yum --enable=livna install livna-config-display
yum remove nvidia-settings		If present


Reboot ??
