| 202472 | 2003-12-23 09:31:00 | Thanks Jen, Took me a while to get the drivers to work in Fedora, but I got through it, now it looks like it's time to update the drivers. Have had a few noticable problems, but hopefully these drivers will fix that problem. |

| 202473 | 2003-12-23 09:39:00 | I had a bit of a battle with Fedora and the previous nVidia driver due to compiler differences between the kernel and the drivers. But I won, and they did work fine for me after that :) I have already installed the latest drivers now, I just dropped into runlevel 3 and ran the nvidia-installer --update which automatically downloaded and installed the new 1.0-5328 drivers. They installed OK with only a few error messages about not being able to write to the message log (or something along those lines), and I was able to load X straight afterwards without any problems. |
