Should I install ALL the files it finds? Here is what I got and it is
impossible to do anything.
[root@k5di ~]# yum search nvidia
livna 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB
00:00 fedora 100% |=========================| 2.1
kB 00:00 updates 100%
[big list deleted...]
I can't tell which is for my F8.
That's the reason you use yum. It will match up with your installed
kernel and pick up any dependencies.
yum install kmod-nvidia
should be all it takes (advice that has previously been mentioned
recently...).
Or, from the
rpm.livna.org page, follow the "Why switch to the
Livna-packaged drivers" link near the top, then read the section towards
the bottom of that page under "Com, Tell Me, How Do I Use This?".
