1) mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-moved-$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
Moving out of the way xorg.conf worked out as you suggested. I am now
in F14 using vesa driver. Thanks for that. :-)
2) yum install kernel-devel dkms akmod-nvidia \
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64 time
This part worked out fine and installed all requested.
3) /usr/sbin/akmods --force
But this produced the following errors:
[root@mobyfedora]# /usr/sbin/akmods --force
Checking kmods exist for 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.PAE [ OK ]
Files needed for building modules against kernel
2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.PAE could not be found as the following
directories are missing:
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.PAE/
/lib/modules/2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.PAE/build/ [FAILED]
4) depmod -a
5) dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) 6) reboot
Thus executing the remaining part had not much sense.
I'll try to look deeper into it tomorrow since now I'm too sleepy.
Again, thank you for help. And for further expecting suggestions :-)...
