You can't run without them. I am not sure what they are dependency of kmod-nvidia or akmod-nvidia. Or, they can be installed independently. > I see no reason to install akmod-nvidia, akmods or whatever. > akmod-nvidia.x86_64 185.18.14-1.fc11- is something you should want. It automatically rebuilds the kernel module for nvidia from 185.18.14 packages every time there is a kernel upgrade. Then you don't have to wait for a new kmod-nvidia release. It has always worked for me and if you peruse this users list you will see that nvidia driver users swear by it. When (if) nvidia updates to a new driver version that works with newer kernels (say, 185.18.31) akmod-nvidia will be upgraded to that new version and all your nvidia driver modules will be rebuilt for the new kernel. Check to see if akmods is installed; it should be. ]# yum list installed akmods Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Installed Packages akmods.noarch 0.3.6-3.fc11 @rpmfusion-free-updates -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 23.1.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
