Hi Gain, Thank you very much for responding. I have followed the instructions but when I type the command after installing the drivers "modprobe nvidia" I get the following messages: nvidia: Unknown parameter `' FATAL: Errorinserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.741_FC3/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) This messages are same as before.
