I don't particularly like using packaged NVidia stuff - too much of a
pain waiting for the packagers to catch up with the latest kernel.
The akmod-nvidia packages at rpmfusion includes logic to rebuild the
drivers automatically when a new kernel is booted. Quite sweet, really,
and none of the hassles associated with nVidia's packaging.
I just grab the right driver from
http://www.nvidia.com/page/support.html. Once it's downloaded, just
run this as root:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.82-pkg2.run -s -X
Change NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.82-pkg2.run to the package you download.
That will do a quiet install and set up your xorg.conf appropriately.
If you want to use packaged versions, you can use the rpmforge repo at
http://rpmfusion.org. There are good docs there as to how to use the
repo.
How do you find drivers on Nvidia.com for older cards, like a GeForce FX
Go5200 NV34M
Look for the akmod-nvidia-96xx or akmod-nvida-173xx packages at
rpmfusion. Note that these are no longer supported by nVidia, but they
are kept current for new kernels by the rpmfusion gang.
But how do I tell if 96xx or 173xx is for my old Geforce FX Go5200 ?
