Just head over to www.nvidia.com Click on Download Drivers, the select Graphics Driver, then GeForce, then Linux IA32 or AMD64, depending on which processor you have and which version of Fedora you installed (only use the AMD64 version if you have an Athlon 64 and are using Fedora x86_64). You'll need version 6629 to work with the latest FC3 kernels. You'll probably also need to add this line to /etc/modprobe.conf options nvidia NVreg_Mobile=0 > Where can I get information on using the framebuffer? I don't really know as the framebuffer (called rivafb) conflicts with the binary driver and so I don't use it. There is an R3000 / zv5000 mailing list here: http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 You might sign up and post a question there, as I know there are some who just refuse to use the binary drivers who may have this setup. > I will upload the other info soon. > > Thanks, > Charles Li Hope this helps, Jonathan
