The NVIDIA installer script does not work properly on Fedora, as there are some extra libGL.* files the script doesn't detect and remove. Remove the /usr/X11R6/lib/tls/libGL* files (I think that path is right, going from memory here) and then things should work. Hopefully the next version of the NVIDIA drivers will take care of that automatically. > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- Sean Middleditch <elanthis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> AwesomePlay Productions, Inc.
