install nvidia drivers fedora 9

This is from http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f9.html (I always use this guy's installation guides, they are easy to understand) So, don't use the installer from Nvidia's website.

Fedora recommends users install a 3rd-party RPM packaged driver instead of using the installer from Nvidia's website. Currently Livna provides a well packaged driver, installable via yum.

First, setup Livna Repository
$ sudo rpm -ivh **broken link removed**
$ sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna

Install the nvidia driver through Livna:
$ sudo yum install kmod-nvidia

If a kernel update is installed at the same time (most likely), then a reboot will be required. If not, then simply log out completely of Gnome or KDE and the Nvidia driver should load. The Nvidia logo will flash quickly once.

how to install nvidia drivers on fedora

piash:

How do you configure the settings? You should use the nvidia-xconfig script to configure /etc/X11/xorg.conf. This will configure /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the 'nvidia' driver and its options.

$ sudo /usr/sbin/nvidia-xconfig


If you want to tweak your driver, OpenGL or display settings, use nvidia-settings.

$ sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-settings

install nvidia fedora 9

Hi piash,

I have just found out that Fedora 9 ships with a prerelease version of xorg-server 1.5. This server has improved autoconfiguration that allows it to function without a configuration file. Because /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist, nvidia-xconfig will create an /etc/X11/XF86Config file instead. So, sorry about my previous post, unfortunately, xorg-server 1.4.99.901 removed support for the RgbPath option, so X configuration files generated by nvidia-xconfig will not work. For these servers, it is recommended that you delete everything but the "Device" section and leave the rest up to the X server's autoconfiguration:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Device"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection

Please give it a try.
