Dan,
Thanks for your reply.
A couple of small points to clarify things.
When I ran "yum install kmod-nvidia" I thought it would possibly run a script which would find the package from a repository and install it. This 'installation by a script' is used in other distributions. Wrong!
It would have found it if it new where to look. Install the rpm.livna.org rpm as instructed Stuart Sears
wget http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm su -c "rpm -ih livna-release-5.rpm" su -c "yum install kmod-nvidia"
You shouldn't have to modify the xorg.conf file - it should do it for you.
Thanks for your reply, Michael.
I had got the nvidia driver installed by following Stuart's advice. You're right, I didn't have to edit the xorg.conf file, and was explaining to Dan what I had done wrong.
I am very much a Fedora newbie.
Cheers
Keith
