No auto-update for me.

The longest I had to wait one time (with F9) was a week, but most times it was a day or two. However, I don't have to wait anymore: F12's nouveau works just fine with my old GeForce 6600 card. > >> > >> B > >> > > It just seems odd that this would be overlooked as to someone who is > > newer to Linux than myself could find themselves in trouble if they just > > updated because the system says there are updates. > > It is not "overlooked" by the Fedora package builders - remember that > the Nvidia drivers are built by rpmfusion and not in the Fedora update > system.

On my system I use "akmods" & "akmods-nvidia" The way it works for me is that if necessary "akmods" rebuilds the nVidia kernel module when I reboot into a new kernel. Some people have no luck with the "akmods" method. For me, it has always worked perfectly. This is on Fedora 13. Steven P.
