Hi,
I followed the instruction at the resources website:
$yum install kmod-nvidia
nothing else was specified. I saw that there were kernel updates, so I guess
some of it was kernel dependent.
But I did not really know in detail what else to look for, so the rest
went past me.
There was a recommendation to restart the machine in the event of kernel
updates, so I looked for that.

There was no mention of that in the article at the ../resource/.. site -
but I guess I cound yum intstall them ..
