Generally speaking, it's better NOT to install the drivers supplied by NVidia themselves, but use ones packaged PROPERLY for Fedora, from one of the Fedora repos. None of this malarkey is required, and they don't mess up X like NVidia does. Unless you actually have a problem with the Fedora package, I'd strongly advise that you run away, as fast as you can, from using the run file that you can download from NVidia. Set up your computer to use the rpmfusion repo. http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
