You've either missed or forgotten something very, very basic in this
process. You click on the URL for the right livna-release-xxx rpm,
(and I know the link has gone by several times in related posts
recently but I'm too lazy to look them up for you). The browser will
offer to install it for you - or you could download the rpm and
install it manually. After doing this you will have the livna repo
added to your yum configuration and can use 'yum search nvidia' to
find nvidia related things in configured repos and 'yum install ....'
to install packages you find.
Should I install ALL the files it finds? Here is what I got and it is
impossible to do anything.
[root@k5di ~]# yum search nvidia
livna 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB
00:00 fedora 100% |=========================| 2.1
kB 00:00 updates 100%
[big list deleted...]
I can't tell which is for my F8.
That's the reason you use yum. It will match up with your installed
kernel and pick up any dependencies.
yum install kmod-nvidia
should be all it takes (advice that has previously been mentioned
recently...).
Or, from the rpm.livna.org page, follow the "Why switch to the
Livna-packaged drivers" link near the top, then read the section towards
the bottom of that page under "Com, Tell Me, How Do I Use This?".
