I take you mean I need the 96xx RPMs.
I guess. I don't follow the RPMs at all. You need 1.0-9639 to support that GPU. How you get it is up to you.
What I did was: yum erase xorg-x11-drv-nvidia yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-96xx That seemed to work: [root@phoenix ~]# lsmod | grep -i nvidia nvidia 4719284 22 i2c_core 24641 5 eeprom,lm85,i2c_ec,nvidia,i2c_i801 Now, how did you know that that was the right thing to do? I don't see anything on the Livna wiki page (http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/LivnaSwitcher) about this.
I work for NVIDIA. But even if I didn't the driver README documents which GPUs are supported in which releases. The official driver installer would also refuse to install the driver if your GPU wasn't supported. Looks like Livna's RPMs have a bug if they don't enforce this check.
