Re: Problems after installing nvidia kmod

Following the steps I'm now running on the nvidia driver. 

However, I'm still having the problem with nautilus not displaying the desktop icons.  I also noticed that with the nvidia driver I'm now back to seeing the 3 progress bars on boot as opposed to the graphical boot screen I had before.

Yeah, there are manual steps now needed. ;(

Please take a look at:
http://fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/nvidia-yum-kmod/

You basically have to rebuild your initramfs to blacklist the free
driver, and run a selinux command to allow the nvidia driver to work
with selinux enabled.
