I have yet to successfully get yum to download the Livna NVidia drivers, so I thought I'd just grab the RPMs directly from rpm.livna.org and install by hand. This is the result. This happens even after I run "system-config-display --reconfig" before installing. Any clues, anyone?
TIA.

Hi, Matthew, I had the same issue last week. I discovered that the downloaded driver was too short (something like 12Mb vs 27Mb if IRC). I downloaded again and it got the full thing and worked correctly.
