I didn't know until now, thanks. I switched recently to nVidia tarball during the stability issue using tv out full screen and I thought I'll solve the problem that way, which I didn't :-/ I was lazy afterwards to bring Livna package back. I usually recompile Livna nvidia-glx srpm package. But the funny thing is that I've never seen some official nvidia-glx package for RHEL. That can be an issue if original nVidia tarballs make problems, and people are paying for that product (RHEL). I know that I can rebuild Livna srpm package on RHEL but I've never seen some official recommendation, or something for installing nVidia propriatery driver on RHEL. -- Igor Jagec -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
