For the last 3-4 kernel updates, which is the time I've been using them, updates came real fast. Then, with 2.6.29.6-217.2.7.fc11.x86_64, I decided to give akmod a try, and it was a complete failure.

So, if there's a kernel security update, as at least the 2 last updates were, you don't update? > Sure you could use > the akmod package if you want more packages installed but I do not. What does "if you want more packages installed" mean? I just want want my video card to work with the most recent kernel. > File a bug with RPM Fusion as posting here is pointless. Yes, I could register to a non-developer mailing list at RPMfusion, where there's next to nobody, and ask what the hell is going on. But the fact that an update is not issued is not a bug: they might have a problem providing the update. I thought maybe someone here could have an idea of what this problem is. > Demand DKMS while you are at it. Why should I ask DKMS? yum search dkms Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit === Matched: dkms === dkms.noarch : Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework It seems all I have to do is install DKMS. Maybe you could explain what happens afterwards. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
