1) download the latest NVIDIA drivers:
(!) dont use the www.nvidia.com site to download the dirvers (it's not updated).
1.1) use the forum: go to http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14
1.2) look for the topic "Current NVIDIA Linux graphics driver releases", and get the "Current release".
2) launch the drivers installer:
2.1) to run the installer, you need to turn off the Xserver (type "init 3" in console)
2.2) launch the installer: /root/Downloads/NVIDIA......sh
now, if your really really lucky, the installer will download the kernel from nvidia ftp for you, and will configure the xorg.conf.
In that case, your done. startx and enjoy.
otherwise (99.9%:)
if your not , youll get an ERROR because you need to rebuild the kernel:
----------------------------------------
REBUILDING THE KERNEL for NVIDIA DRIVERS
----------------------------------------
1) type uname -r2) yum install kernel-devel-
3) make a link to the sources: "ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686/build/ /usr/src/linux-2.6.27.21/"
4) set the enviroment variable: "export SYSSRC=/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.21" (DONT!!! add the trailing slash here !!!)
try to run the installer. If your still getting errors, try adding also the following packages:
5) yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"6) yum install kernel-devel xorg-x11-server-sdk pkgconfig
