There are workarounds, like the dkms stuff, but having used early versions of dkms for our nvidia cards, I'm very gun shy of dkms--lots of problems with it, at least for me.
I'm the person that's done the dkms package for the advansys driver. If you try it and have any problems I'd be very keen to get it fixed. Do you still use dkms for anything else (sounds like not)? If so, trying out the dkms build shouldn't cause any problems/conflicts for you.
Cheers, Paul.
Hi,
I upgraded a FC1 box to FC2 and the dkms could not update the nvidia driver, leaving X hosed. When I tried to remove dkms with "rpm -e" it gave script errors at the end. I had to finally use "updatedb", "locate dkms", "rm -rf blah" and "rpm -e --noscripts" (I think) to remove the rest of dkms from the box and the rpm database.
Thanks, John
