I admit that I use Debian and not Fedora, but my man page for xorg.conf lists Option "IgnoreABI" in Section "ServerFlags"... I suspect that this would achieve the same result without potentially interfering with the package manager (which still thinks that Xorg is a binary executable distributed by the X consortium, and not a shell script written by the local user). Hope that was of some help to somebody.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07815690026850425901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18125890.post-64769246713998734892008-09-14T21:16:00.000+05:302008-09-14T21:16:00.000+05:30seems some build issue with that particular nvidia...seems some build issue with that particular nvidia RPM in livna. why not try the package from freshrpms repository ?<BR/><BR/>http://sulphur.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=471<BR/><BR/>Also the version in my blog is a bit older, nvidia has released newer drivers. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_173.14.12.htmlNareshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187716902126738230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18125890.post-49013568672264364552008-09-14T16:59:00.000+05:302008-09-14T16:59:00.000+05:30i get the following error while installing nvidia ...i get the following error while installing nvidia drivers<BR/><BR/><BR/> --> Missing Dependency: kernel-uname-r = 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64 is needed by package kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64-173.14.12-3.lvn9.x86_64 (livna)<BR/>Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-uname-r = 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64 is needed by package kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64-173.14.12-3.lvn9.x86_64 (livna)<BR/><BR/><BR/>plz helpharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01274211334303594257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18125890.post-90542838753278620592008-06-09T19:30:00.000+05:302008-06-09T19:30:00.000+05:30I am not sure of the SLI support in 173.08 verison...I am not sure of the SLI support in 173.08 verison.

As far as I know, it only supports 2D, same with the nouveau driver. But, if you're using Fedora, I suggest adding the Livna-Testing repository and just installing akmod-nvidia and be sure to run nvidia-xconfig. As of right now it seems to accomplish the same task as this guide, but with much ease, and hopefully will hold people off until Livna releases a stable package for the Nvidia driver.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287917980325928863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18125890.post-72001489993624255512008-05-15T14:28:22.772+05:302008-05-15T14:28:22.772+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.bekirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367428924157794163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18125890.post-22068811909243777412008-05-15T09:12:00.000+05:302008-05-15T09:12:00.000+05:30This procedure works with Fedora 9 Also.
