It was pretty much (after having installed the nvidia drivers from NVidia) nvidia-uninstall to get rid of what I'd downloaded. Then yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=elrepo-testing install kmod-nvidia which pulls in the driver as well, of course. The first time I tried it, there seemed to be a module mismatch, perhaps from cruft left around from a previous NVidia install, along the lines of conflict between 185.31 and 185.36 or something similar. After clearing out the old NVidia (vs. nv) modules, that were left after this older install/uninstall, the above solution worked well, and is, of course, easier. Main advantage, I think is the kmod part, so that if one plays around with different kernels, it should be taken care of--in theory at least haven't tried different kernels yet. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Anya: This isn't a relationship.
