I would do: 1- switch to init 3 (]# init 3) 2- install akmod-nvidia (]# yum install akmod-nvidia) This should install akmod-nvidia, kmod-nvidia, xorg-x11-drv-nvidia, xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs 3- switch to init 5 (]# init 5) This will install the nvidia module for your kernel. If you need to have your own xorg.conf file you must disable livna-config-display, to prevent it to write a new xorg.conf file, erasing the one you prepared... > *sigh*...I keep forgetting that sometimes clicking on reply sends it the > the respondent and not directly to the list....here's the forward... I know why: you have set "reply to" in your mail config, doing so, when I reply to your mail to the list, a mail is sent directly to you...
