I'm putting together a system based on FC for a friend, but can't quite get everything to work at the same time. The problem is that the latest update kernel (2.6.8.x), still has a problem with writing CDs for which there isn't a simple fix, or any imminent sign of an update. I've therefore had to go with 2.6.7-1.494.2.2.

I'd also like to get accelerated graphics to work (gotta be able to let them play tuxracer!), but Livna only keep the RPMs for the NVIDIA kernel module and nvidia-glx for the latest kernel. I've tried installing from the NVIDIA install script, but there isn't a prebuilt module on their download site for this kernel, and as this is a fairly limited install I don't have GCC available and it brought in a ton of stuff as dependencies when I tried to install it.

Does anyone therefore have a copy of the old nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx modules for 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 (preferably not SMP, but that's better than nothing!) that they could let me have a copy of please?

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers

Simon.
