Hi Jeffrey
Had similar setup (Dell + Nvidia card) with the same problem.
Solved it by installing the nv driver from livna.
Have you tried using the driver from
rpm.livna.org <
http://rpm.livna.org>?
To install the repo to yum:
rpm -ivh
http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
Then:
http://www.fedorafaq.org/#nvidia <
http://www.fedorafaq.org/#nvidia>
--> follow the instruction here to install and get the driver up and
running.
Sorry Jafaruddin,
I replied to your e-mail and realized that I misread the information
you gave me. Nevertheless, I came up with an error message while I
tried to install the kmod-nvidia drivers. How do I get rid of the
conflicts with the kmod-nividia drivers. Listed below is what happened
when I tried to install the kmod-nividia drivers:
