It would have found it if it new where to look.
Install the
rpm.livna.org rpm as instructed Stuart Sears
wget
http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm
su -c "rpm -ih livna-release-5.rpm"
su -c "yum install kmod-nvidia"
You shouldn't have to modify the xorg.conf file - it should do it
for you.
Thanks for your reply, Michael.
I had got the nvidia driver installed by following Stuart's advice.
You're right, I didn't have to edit the xorg.conf file, and was
explaining to Dan what I had done wrong.
I am very much a Fedora newbie.
Cheers
Keith
