Otherwise the open source 'nv' driver is very good (excepting only nVidia-style multihead). If I were you I wouldn't use the rpms. yum install kernel-devel Then download the appropriate archive direct from nvidia http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html sh NVIDIA_blah_blah.sh follow the prompts, get it to compile its own kernel module and install it. You need to re-do this once every time you update your kernel. (Just a hint... when you do update your kernel, press A at the grub prompt on reboot and append the number 3 to the kernel commandline... this will avoid the box repeatedly trying to start the old, wrong, nVidia driver). Then telinit 5 to start X. -Andy
