Maybe you had a typo, 183.08 does not exist (yet) the last nvidia beta driver is 173.08 (10-apr) That said, you need to apply a patch to the driver in order to build the driver with a 2.6.26+ kernel: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=112007&page=3 However, this driver has not 3D support (you need to 'Disable "glx"' in the Module section of the xorg config file) and also has not ABI support for the current X server version, so you need to start the X server with the --ignoreABI command line parameter. Seems that the folks at nVidia are waiting for the final 1.5 xorg server to be released. best regards Teo Fonrouge -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
