then in a terminal become root and move the yum.conf to it's existing
location, this will overwrite the old one .. If your not sure how to
move the file type : mv yum.conf /etc/yum.conf .. It will then ask you
to overwrite old file just say yes.... NOW open a terminal and become
root and type: yum install nvidia .... This will install the nvidia
kernel module and and glx for you and setup your X86Config all you'll
have to do is restart X wil a quick ctrl +  atl +backspace
