[05-05-12 04:03]: Ok I downloaded the nvidia driver that supports my card. I installed make, gcc, and kernel source. Then I blacklisted the nouveau driver by adding nvidia.conf to /etc/modprobe.d/ and putting in the 2 lines: blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0
You don't need "kernel-source" but you do need kernel-devel and the development version of the particular kernel you are running, ie: kernel-desktop kernel-desktop-devel kernel-devel
Here are all my kernel rpms that are installed: georgeasus@linux-aw90:~> rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-desktop-devel-3.1.10-1.9.1.x86_64 kernel-desktop-3.1.9-1.4.1.x86_64 kernel-source-3.1.10-1.9.1.noarch kernel-devel-3.1.10-1.9.1.noarch kernel-syms-3.1.10-1.9.1.x86_64 kernel-xen-devel-3.1.10-1.9.1.x86_64 kernel-default-devel-3.1.10-1.9.1.x86_64 I see here that kernel-desktop, which is my active kernel, is different from kernel-desktop-devel and kernel-devel. Is that a problem, or is it supposed to be like that?
You do not need to edit /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf as the install script will do that for you.
I also made sure I had linux-glibc-devel installed.
also not necessary.
