Try download nvidia driver from Nvidia web site, then download the kernel-dev rpm via yum after that start the installation in level 3. Nvidia they have driver for linux, and it is working fine with me.

The kernels video API was changed withn the first 2.6.25 release candidate, and the driver available in the .12.run package will not build on 2.6.25-x kernels, unless they have released a new driver in the last 24 hours or so. I gave up, there is now an ati based 2400HD in this system. But I can't watch tv with tvtime now, that overlay interface is missing from the radeonhd driver.
Check the nVIDIA forums. There is a patch for this problem available for download.
Yes, and I have it, but it fails to apply. The patch instructs are a bit obtuse to me. I've watched the errors because they can't code worth a damn go by even when it says the build is good, been doing it for a couple of years. Strange things have happened in that 2 years too, such as getting LSN0 wiped clean at least once. Screw it, I need something more stable than NVIDIA's own drivers have proven to be.
As a tv engineer, that sucks, so I'm damned either way.
As a tv engineer, you are damned no matter what.
Chuckle. Either that, or if you are good at it, you get accused of walking on water, which I have been occasionally. Even though I've been given the rolex and retired into a transmitter maintenance role for 4 years now, the phone still rings when the SHTF.
