There is a nice section about that at http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/, but here is an nvidia only section: Pick one or more of the five available nvidia kernel drivers: nvidia-graphics4363-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl-1.0_4363-46.rhfc1.at.athlon.rpm nvidia-graphics4496-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl-1.0_4496-46.rhfc1.at.athlon.rpm nvidia-graphics4620-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl-1.0_4620-46.rhfc1.at.athlon.rpm nvidia-graphics5328-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl-1.0_5328-46.rhfc1.at.athlon.rpm nvidia-graphics-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl-1.0_5336-46.rhfc1.at.athlon.rpm with the matching userland bits: nvidia-graphics4363-1.0_4363-46.rhfc1.at.i386.rpm nvidia-graphics4496-1.0_4496-46.rhfc1.at.i386.rpm nvidia-graphics4620-1.0_4620-46.rhfc1.at.i386.rpm nvidia-graphics5328-1.0_5328-46.rhfc1.at.i386.rpm nvidia-graphics-1.0_5336-46.rhfc1.at.i386.rpm You will also need the atrpms package, which provides kernel module update helpers. Your best bet is to use apt/yum with something like apt-get install nvidia-graphics4620-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl nvidia-graphics4620 for instance (for the 4620 driver) Use nvidia-graphics-switch to switch between multiple drivers. -- Axel.Thimm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
