I'll assume you're using the official Nvidia driver on your FC1 and not the livna.org ones (as far as I know there are no Nvidia rpms for FC2 yet). You'll have to recompile the Nvidia kernel module after upgrade to FC2 as your kernel will change from 2.4 series to 2.6. This is what the Nvidia README has to say: -------------- Q: I just upgraded my kernel, and now the NVIDIA kernel module will not load. What is wrong? A: The kernel interface layer of the NVIDIA kernel module must be compiled specifically for the configuration and version of your kernel. If you upgrade your kernel, then the simplest solution is to reinstall the driver. -------------- I have a quick and dirty Nvidia installation HOWTO in my blog over here: http://www.betabyte.net/node.php?id=133 Your milage may vary, but I'll post it here anyway in hope that it'll help someone Cheers, Tero -- Tero Hanninen | tero@xxxxxxxxxxxx | http://www.betabyte.net/ | "My friend, one thing you have to learn.
