Problem with installing the nvidia drivers

[Mark]

Hey,

i normally find it hard to install the nvidia drivers because there is no
"official" fedora way.. it all has to be done with the livna repository.
but now i`m getting very strange problems..

I install the kernel module driver and the xorg nvidia driver:

kmod-nvidia-1.0.9755-1.2.6.20_1.3045.fc7
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1.0.9755-2.lvn7

than i run x. at this moment i have nvidia and all seems to be running
fine.. untill i restart.
somehow everything that is installed by:
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1.0.9755-2.lvn7is not on my disc anymore once i
restarted..

i have no idea what could cause this problem..
how do you all install the nvidia drivers? i have a 6800 GT

Please do not use fedora-devel-list for third part repository packages
You should uses thoses repository mailing-list instead.

oke.. this is not just about another repository!! also just about a issue i
have to get the nvidia drivers working on Fedora core 7 test 3.
selinux seems to be the problem. i disabled it and now it`s working fine.
anyone any idea how i can adjust selinux so it works?

Dude, you're asking a question about a proprietary driver provided by
livna. It's nothing to do with this mailing list.

If you installed a broken .exe file from some random website onto your
Windows XP computer and it then did not work, would you email the
Microsoft development team asking for help?

Probably best to file a bug with livna or nvidia.

Richard.

Can you send any denials that you got - either from /var/log/messages
or /var/log/audit/audit.log.

Thanks - Karl
