Nvidia graphics card drivers
I have Fedora Core 6 DVD that has many RPM's and maybe the kernel source development modules.
Can someone guide me in finding the correct module and installing it.
Thanks for any help.

Re: Nvidia graphics card drivers
I found that file, downloaded the RPM and ran the RPM install. All went successfully but the NVIDIA script still fails complaining that it couldn't find the kernel source development tree. The script gives the option to manually enter the path.
Any clue about what the kernel source development tree path might be ?

Re: Nvidia graphics card drivers
My system is x86 Duel core 64 bit processor 3 gigs ram 3.4 ghz running Fedora Core 6 on its own 160 gig SATA drive turning at 7000. The NVIDIA card is the 7800 I think, I didn't look inside the box yet. I'm running off the DVI port of the card.

Re: Nvidia graphics card drivers
Card is 7300. Kernel is vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen
I'm still looking for the source development path.

Re: Nvidia graphics card drivers
I found /usr/src/Redhat directory. It is empty. The /usr/src/kernels directory contained the files extracted by my download attempts. I removed the kernels directory and will try again.

Re: Nvidia graphics card drivers
if all development kernel rpms are installed, you may need to get and compile code from the graphics card maker.
I'm a little surprised FC6 doesn't support it. Its hardware support is pretty wide. I just migrated my personal laptop to ubuntu because I was quite tired of messing around with FC6 Atheros wireless supported and wnated it to work out of the box.
Make sure the system has been fully yummed and that the version number of the development package is the same as the kernel you booted.

Re: Nvidia graphics card drivers
I found this package:
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.x86_64.rpm
which I think is what I need. RPM from the GUI complains that a newer version is already installed, however, it doesn't say where.
Maybe I need to run the RPM uninstall to clean the notations files.
How to do RPM uninstall ??

package kernel-smp-devel-2.6.17-1.2143_FC4 (which is newer than kernel-smp-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4) is already installed
When I try to uninstall, it is not installed; when I try to install, it is already installed ???
How can I get out of that loop?
