Fedora 14 and Nvidia 460 Fermi

[Chris Kloiber]

Is that using rpmfusion packages, or nVidia's blob installer? The 
company I work for offers CUDA servers now, and they seem to be running 
the same nvidia driver version I use on my desktop (without CUDA, 
obviously). It seems the CUDA libraries aren't packaged by rpmfusion, 
but may get installed by the blob installer. I would try the nVidia 
installer from their website, and if that works compare the libraries 
installed to the rpmfusion packages. Find the differences and bug 
rpmfusion packagers to package the extra libraries if possible, perhaps 
as a separate "nvidia-cuda" package?

Hope that helps.
