The Nvidia drivers shipped for Fedora Core 6 should work fine, but there is a problem with enabling the driver that occurs with xorg.conf files created by system-config-display from Fedora Core 6. Due to this the driver doesn't get enabled by default after install and you have to configure it completely manually. That might involve:
* disabling dri and GLcore extensions in xorg.conf
* enabling the glx extensions in xorg.conf (FIXME -- is that really needed?)
* switch graphics driver manually from "vesa" or "nv" to "nvidia"
* add the module path to your xorg.conf with something like
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia,/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection
or on x86_64
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia,/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection
nvidia-config-display, the python script that normally enables the driver automatically during install, should be enhanced to add this section to the xorg.conf (the other stuff is handled already by it, but that needs some small adjustments, too). But livna currently has nobody that maintains the nvidia-package and until now nobody with interest, time and knowledge to fix it stepped up to help out. Are you interested? Send a mail to
