So you installed the proper versions of both kmod-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia ? These are the two RPMs that compose the nvidia driver. -Dan
Yes, that is correct; I don't think RPM would have it any other way. I have installed both packages in the 8762 flavor and I still get an error about version mismatches. Hmm, I went searching through the Livna bugzilla and came across this bug: http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=901 I had not rebooted my machine at the point I was trying to use the new drivers. Installing the drivers now after a fresh boot, everything works fine. Can someone please explain this to me? Why should I need to reboot? Could the old kernel module still be loaded after doing an "init 3"? I didn't think to check that. I don't recall ever having this kind of problem before when just using the nVidia shell script installer. And I believe I have changed driver versions without rebooting before (with the nVidia script), though I am not certain of that. Jonathan
