1. This
has been
the
easiest
thing I
have
done in
fedora
core 3.
2. In
fc3 I
have all
my repos
setup.
Livna,
freshrpm,
atrmp,
dag and
here is
how I
did my
repos.
3. I
installed
my
nvidia
drivers
via yum
by
issuing
this yum
command
(as
root)
and this
command
will
also
install
the
kernel-sourcecode:
Code:
yum install nvidia-glx kernel-module-nvidia-`(uname -r)`
It took
care of
everything
for me
and here
is the
proof:
Quote:
[imdeemvp@myfc3 ~]$ glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
[imdeemvp@myfc3 ~]$ glxgears

35315 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7063.000 FPS
34565 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6913.000 FPS
35340 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7068.000 FPS
35359 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7071.800 FPS
35324 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7064.800 FPS
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

This was
the
easiest
way for
me to
install
nvidia
drivers
in long
time. I
check my
xorg.conf
and did
not have
to edit
anything.
Dont ask
me why.
NOTE if
you
udpate
your
kernel
you need
to
reinstall
the
drivers
again:
Code:
yum install kernel-module-nvidia-`(rpm -q --queryformat="%{version}-%{release}\n" kernel | tail -n 1)`
You can
also do
it the
the
nvidia
way.
and for
extra
help
check
the
nvidia
linux
forums.
