There you can download the driver, yes. But - you need to compile a kernel module - it does not compile with the current fedora update kernel - it installs files in the system that are not managed by rpm (earlier or later that can lead to problems?) - it conflicts with a RPM from Core - it puts evil things like if [ $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ] then if ! set | grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH | grep /usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib/modules > /dev/null then LD_LIBRARY_PATH= $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib/modules export LD_LIBRARY_PATH fi else LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib/modules export LD_LIBRARY_PATH fi into you /etc/profile and will never remove them (AFAIK). All things that don't happen with the package from livna ;-) Cu thl -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
