Looks like there's no repo that carries the Nvidia drivers. I enabled all the big repos in /etc/yum.repos.d and did a "yum provides" and nothing showed up. Where do you get your Nvidia RPMs from? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

At the moment Livna is supporting FC6 (maybe FC5, too). You could grab the source RPMs from Livna and rebuild them on your CentOS box.

I use HP's NVidia RPMS. It's not as easy as using a YUM repository, but I seldom need to upgrade my video drivers. And the HP drivers come with the nvconfig script which automatically checks for a kernel driver for the current kernel at boot time and builds/installs it if needed. Makes upgrading/customizing kernels completely painless. -- Prentice -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Florin Andrei Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 7:40 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] yum repo with Nvidia driver RPMs?
