kmod-nvidia not working in kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5

[Deepak Shrestha]

I guess the new updates of fedora 5 is ok. I have installed the nvidia
driver ( I don't know about livna yet). so far, its behaving well, 2D
and 3D are both working well.. What i did was

yum update
install nvidia
yum update again.

may be it could have worked if

yum update
install driver from livna
yum update again

I don't know why second update did some magic to my box.

I guess there are also other factors behind the corrpution of
directories and other problems (may be bug in fedora itself). but so
far i haven't seen any weiredness in my box yet as mentioned before
like directory corruptions. Its working well and I am happy.

Thanks
