I am having problems with the Nvidia driver from Livna for kernel 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7. I changed to run level 3, installed the two packages: yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia ... This installed these two packages: [root@phoenix X11]# pre nvidia kmod-nvidia-100.14.09-1.2.6.21_1.3228.fc7 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-100.14.09-2.lvn7 I then tried the driver: [root@phoenix ~]# service nvidia status nvidia.ko for kernel 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 was not found. The nvidia driver will not be enabled until one is found. [root@phoenix ~]# nvidia-config-display enable Driver already enabled. [root@phoenix ~]# service nvidia status nvidia.ko for kernel 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 was not found. The nvidia driver will not be enabled until one is found. The modules should be installed: [root@phoenix X11]# rpm -ql kmod-nvidia-100.14.09-1.2.6.21_1.3228.fc7 | xargs ls -ald drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-06-19 13:55 /lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3228.fc7/extra/nvidia -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7903696 2007-06-14 05:02 /lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3228.fc7/extra/nvidia/nvidia.ko Modprobe fails: [root@phoenix X11]# modprobe nvidia.ko FATAL: Module nvidia.ko not found. (In spite of this, when the system boots, the nvidia driver installer reports success, which does not help diagnosis.)
