[rhelv6-beta-list] Installing Nvidia graphics drivers?

[Justin Clift]

Hmmm, if it rebuilds automatically in some way these days, then maybe.

For me, after a lot of swearing at the noveau driver and hair-pulling, I 
found someone else's post on a Fedora forum saying to add that 
noveau.modeset=0 command line option.

Tried that, and things suddenly started working.  Didn't need to 
manually build an initrd in my case.
