The way to do it is to first as root in a clean system: rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm then rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm This installs the rpmfusion repo files in the right place in /etc/repos.d/ Then check which version of the kmod-nvidia you need - if you are using a PAE kernel then you need to install kmod-nvdia-PAE if not then you may need kmod-nvidia on its own. However you may need the legacy drivers instead in which case you need kmod-nvidia-173xx etc. Check your graphics card version and find which driver you need before you install it. Then do "yum install kmod-nvidia" or "yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE" etc as appropriate. If you don't install the right one then it may well not work properly! HTH Thank you Mike I did as you recommended and installed kmod-nvidia after a fresh minimal install and it's working well so far. Blender is as is used to be and at the moment Fedora 11 is upgrading itself. I had not thought of installing on a clean system, silly heh! I hope not6hing breaks between now and tomorrow.
