I have tried the nVidia driver (freshrpms version) and also various other versions using the freshrpms source rpm as a basis for my own rpm. As I have explained in this thread, these drivers don't work for me for various reasons. However, there is still something that I can (and will) try (using the 7184 version with the composite extension disabled).
And as I've stated on a few occasions, if the nvidia driver isn't working, you should seek assistance on nvnews.net with a bug report. Repeating over and over that they don't work with no information isn't going to fix anything. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
