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.
When I got those messages, I wondered if the driver was installed, but the xorg.conf file needed editing to change the driver (as is required with other distros I have tried). Wrong again!
Cheers
Keith.
