*I haven't seen it mentioned here yet. Nvidia released the new 7167
driver yesterday.  I have a old TNT2 video card that did not work with
there previous drivers and FC3.  Had to go back to the 6111 driver.  I
installed the 7167 driver today, compiled and ran without error.  Did
not have to do anything special.  Has a much better frame rate than I
had with the 6111 driver.  So far very stable.  some of the improvements
that seem important are:* Improved compatibility with Linux 2.6
kernels,  Fixed NvAGP incompatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels,
Improved interaction with the udev filesystem.



Well I reported to them about a failure compiling aginst  kernel
2.6.11 - maybe that is fixed
They last version worked on 2.6.10 just fine.



It is fixed!  2.6.11 is up and so is X.  It seems to have better 3D




I installed and found that it is faster than nv in Xorg.conf But I just installed in kernel 770 . What should I do if I also want to install the driver in previous kernel?

run instaler with -k <kernel-version> option. kernel version should be the same as kernel directory in /lib/modules
