Re: Is this yum or livna repos problem?

I updated my 32 bit fedora 8 system at work today with new
nvidia drivers that showed up on livna and had no problems,

the confusing mess below. I just wonder if it is a yum problem
or a problem with the packages on livna (or even my local
database being somehow screwed up):

You only want one of those.
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia is for the recent cards.
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-96xx is for older cards.

Which rpm provides your nvidia.ko?

rpm -qa |grep "kmod\-nvidia"

should tell you which driver you have.
