Others have already remarked on it, including the remark that if you have several older kernels then you need to keep the kmod-nvidia packages for those kernels around if you ever want to boot off them and run X. This case is different, however. Notice that the kernel (2.6.23.8-34) is _the same_ for both the old -100.14.19-1 module and the new -169.07-1. So the problem appears to be that the nvidia.ko file from the old package conflicts with the new one in (the same) /lib/modules subdirectory. I don't know why the update didn't just replace the old with new. As I recall when I did the update today, the kmod-nvidia package appeared in the yum "to be installed" list, not the "to be updated" list. That may have something to do with it. At all events, what I did was to temporarily setup yum/rpm to repackage and save erased packages. I then did 'yum erase kmod-nvidia-100.14.19-1.2.6.23.8_34.fc7' which recreated the .rpm and saved it away (just in case :-). Then I installed the new package w/o any errors. I haven't tested the new module much but X and KDE (dual head) rebooted just fine and I've not had any problems (FYI). Dean
