(1) open the terminal (2) type "su -" (without quotes), and press return (3) you will be asked for a password --- type in the root password (4) now that you are logged in as root, make sure you have rpmfusion repository installed, by running the following (beware the line wrapping in e- mail, this should all be in one line): yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release- stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion- nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm (you may find these instructions on http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration ) (5) answer yes to any questions it asks (6) finally, you want to install nVidia graphics drivers, by running: yum install kmod-nvidia (7) when the above command completes (it may take some time), type "exit" to get out of the root shell (8) reboot the machine. After the reboot, your graphics should work in the biggest available resolution, have hardware acceleration, and all that. As for the sound, no driver installation should be necessary. You may want to "yum install pavucontrol" (become root first, steps 1-3 above) and use it to control your audio outputs (check that nothing is muted, etc.). If it still doesn't work, we will need more details --- what exactly did you try to do, what happened and what did you expect would happen.
