The driver should be in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video/ . If it isn't, find where it is using the locate command (or the find command). If you use locate, run "updatedb" first. > Question: after using yum install kernel-devel do i have to do anything > to make it useable and visible to the nvidia installer? No. The installer looks for headers in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build, which is where kernel-devel puts them. Since it built okay, I suspect the headers are where they need to be.
