Hi guys - brand new 5.1 install here and quite happy - but...
The nv driver did not work at all for me, fritzy stripes and dots. This is a GeForce 7300 LE which was working happily dual-head under FC6 with the livna nvidia RPMs
So I looked around and it seemed like the ATRpms repo via yum was the best option for CentOS. This is what I installed, it worked great with the xorg.conf from the old system.
But then I did a 'yum update' to the system and got a new kernel from centosplus (?).
Now the nvidia module won't load. It's not happy with the new kernel. I am at a loss as to how to make it happy?
what is the best way to install the closed-source drivers? direct from nvidia? recomplile them? Is there some gap between updates kernel and the atrpms modules?
and in advance I am SORRY if this has been beat to death. I know ~75% of the traffic on the Fedora list was about nvidia woes and flames. Lame, but the DRI does work well on these and my daughter likes to play games.
best, Sam
