Hi, I followed the instruction at the resources website: $yum install kmod-nvidia nothing else was specified. I saw that there were kernel updates, so I guess some of it was kernel dependent. But I did not really know in detail what else to look for, so the rest went past me. There was a recommendation to restart the machine in the event of kernel updates, so I looked for that.
You may also have to install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia and
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs from the livna > site. There was no mention of that in the article at the ../resource/.. site - but I guess I cound yum intstall them ..

Hi: Did yum install both the kmod-nvidia drivers? One is nvidia GP dependent and the other kernel dependent (look at http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/9/i386/). You may also have to install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs from the livna site.

I did this as per instructions given at http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f9.html#java. You may test the status of your browser with http://webapps.ou.edu/it/browser. Sivaraman. My PC is only 2-3 weeks old in my possesion and this is my first encounter with Fedora 9. (Earlier I was running Fedora Core 5) The only screen resolution option I have now is 640x488, and I would like to change that. So I took a look at the ../resources/.. site, where I found instructions for downloading Nvidia-driver: $yum install kmod-nvidia , nvidia installation through Livna. Installation went OK , and I did reboot the PC as recommended, but no change, and the PC does not identify the LCD. It is "unknown" to it. It is configured as Vesa, which I guess is the best option when nothing else is known. But I saw a message flashing over the screen on bootup stating something about the Nvidia driver - it would not take effect until.... something I did not manage to read before it vanished. Does anyone know what I should be looking for? (I did demsg, but no trace of the message there) Brgds PAR -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com <mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com> To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
