How do I enable 3D support for my nVidia graphics card in Fedora Core 3?
There are now nVidia driver RPMs provided by livna.org that are designed especially for Fedora. If you’re using yum, and you’re using my yum.conf, you should be able to install the drivers easily: • Open a Terminal. • Become root. • Type: yum install nvidia-glx kernel-module-nvidia-`(uname -r)` That installs the nVidia driver for your current kernel. If you update your kernel, make sure that you install the newest nVidia driver before you start the new kernel. Here’s a shortcut command that you can type in the terminal as root that makes installing the new driver easy: yum install kernel-module-nvidia-`(rpm -q –queryformat=”%{version}-%{release}\n” kernel | tail -n 1)` (That’s actually just a fancy way of getting the version number of your latest kernel.) If you need support for the nVidia drivers, check out the nV News “Linux and nVidia Graphics” forum. (Thanks to Exile in Paradise for this tip.) If you have any trouble with the livna.org RPMs, see the alternate instructions. (Thanks
