To get the livna repo files in an rpm, you need to go to the livna

Not that expect the right response, but you should change that to saying
that Livna is *one* place you can install them from. There are
alternatives, people don't have to do it this way.
This is where recipes fall apart. They're either too single-minded, and
lock out other options, or become complicated if/then/elses.
In a root terminal type yum install kmod-nvidia. You should get 4
rpm packages. When they are installed reboot your computer and it will
come up with the full features of nVidia video.
Simply doing "yum install kmod-nvidia" will only work if you have one of
the NVidia card supported by that package. If you have an older one,
you'll have to work out which alternative package you'll need. That may
involve reading from the nvidia website, really checking your hardware,
and a lot of head scratching.
Here is rday's version of this example:
Check and see if you have nVidia.
Question: How to get a driver
Two step proceedure:
Step 1: Get a repo from livna or freshrpms.
Step 2. Install nVidia.
Reboot and enjoy.
