The official NVIDIA drivers don't work for me.
Legacy 71.86.01 driver installer doesn't find the source on Fedora F9. Riva TNT2
card. kernel-2.6.24-0.150.rc7 Is the funky designation for the release candidate kernel
the problem? I see there is a December update on NVIDIA for the newer cards but September
with F8 is the latest for the legacy cards.
This reply went only off list the first time I sent, so reposting.
Pardon the obvious question, but do you have kernel-devel installed? The nvidia
driver should be finding what it needs at:
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/
which is symlinked to /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`-`uname -m`
Look and see if you've actually got these files in place. For your kernel uname
-r should be giving '2.6.24-0.150.rc7' so the rc naming should not cause a
problem.
