I also found the location of the file for the fourth command and ran it. FYI - libnvidia-tls.so.1 is in: /usr/lib/nvidia AND in /usr/lib/nvidia/tls I ran the command on the first location and that didn't help, then ran it on the second, and that didn't help either. I found some suggestions on the freshrpms list about creating a file in /etc/udev/makedev.d/60-nvidia.nodes That contains the nvidia devices : nvidia0 nvidia1 nvidia2 nvidia3 nvidiactl But that didn't work, either I guess I'm going to try the Livna driver next, although I really like the combo of the freshrpms driver and dkms, which builds a new driver module automatically each time I install a new kernel, upon reboot. I never have to worry about waiting a couple of days for the new kmod that way -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
