How would livna setup a driver for the kernel that they haven't built yet? Your expectations are ridiculous and you really ought not to be using updates-testing if you want things to "Just Work(TM)." Testing is for people that want to test. If you use it and you complain here, you just look like an ass. > > yum install kmod-nvidia > Setting up Install Process > Setting up repositories > livna 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB > 00:00 > core 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB > 00:00 > updates 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB > 00:00 > extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB > 00:00 > Reading repository metadata in from local files > primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 1.3 MB > 00:02 > ################################################## 4191/4191 > Parsing package install arguments > Resolving Dependencies > --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
