Hello Bart, and thanks for the welcome.
I tried your method of installing the nvidia driver, but it didn't
work. I must have done something wrong but, because of my lack of
knowledge about Fedora, didn't know what.
For information, I went into text mode and typed
yum install kmod-nvidia.
I got:
Loading "installonly plugin"
Setting up Installation process
Setting up repositories
core
updates
extras
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
No match for argument: kmod-nvidia
Nothing to do.
I tried editing the xorg.conf file to change the driver from "nv" to
"nvidia", but that didn't work.
While typing this post, I have just realised that I hadn't installed
the livna repository, so I am wondering if that was the problem.
However, when I did it Stuart's way, installing livna first, it has
worked!
I think I have really messed this up, but I am learning fast. :-(
Many thanks again to you both.
Cheers
Keith
