If you have ATrpms in your repo configs you can simply use apt-get install kernel-module-nvidia-graphics6111-`uname -r` apt-get install nvidia-graphics6111 (replace apt-get with yum for yum instructions) You will get a modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia, which you need to move to /etc/X11/xorg.conf after inspection (safety precaution for non-nvidia users who install all of ATrpms). Note that if 6111 is not adequate for you (different nvidia releases have different strengths/wekanesses), you can install multiple different drivers form ATrpms simultaneously and switch from one to another with the nvidia-graphics-switch utility (outside of X). -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
