I probably should advertise in this thread: rpm.livna.org packages the Nvidia drivers for Fedora, in a very user-friendly format. Here's how you install it: 1. Make sure you have the Livna repositories configured in yum. The most recent driver version resides in testing, the older one in stable. 2. Run "yum install nvidia-glx". 3. Restart X. It takes care of all your configuration and little udev/modprobe hacks and whatnot. No init 3, running scripts, compiling stuff. When there's a new kernel released, you run "yum install kernel-module-nvidia-$(uname - r)" to install the corresponding kernel module. It also comes with a little init script that disables the nvidia driver if you happen to boot a kernel with no nvidia module, so that X will run just fine with the x.org driver. /Peter -- Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
