nvidia TNT2 64 support

[Jack Wallen]

does FC4 support the TNT2 card out of the box? i've done some searching and it 
seems i would have to install the nvidia drivers after installation of FC4. 
is this correct?

thank you so much for any help.

This is correct.  There are no FOSS drivers for Nvidia's video cards.

There is the nv driver that comes with x.org that provides basic support 
for nvidia chips.

The card is supported out of the box. If you need 3D acceleration etc.
you need to install the proprietary nvidia driver. The TNT2 chipset
however is not supported by the latest drivers from nvidia.com.
Livna.org has an older version of the driver, works fine with the latest
kernels. Simply enable livna in yum [1] and do

telinit 3
 yum install nvidia-glx-legacy 
 telinit 5

There you go...
