when I do yum install kmod-nvidia-340xx it is saying no package kmod-nvidia-340xx available ?
What did I miss?
OK .. So if you need to have the 32-bit driver as well as the 64-bit one (for things like steam gaming .. who doesn't like games :D) ... I found this link on the nvidia site:
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/latest.txt
Basically .. that will tell you the last 64 bit driver you can build which will install 32-bit drivers as well.
Then you can grab those and install them manually.
Phil Perry (of elrepo) might be able to tell us if any of the elrepo drivers also have 32bit .. I am not sure.
The 390.xx series driver was the last nvidia driver release that supported a 32-bit OS install. Hence there are no new driver releases for el6 i386 architecture.
Driver releases after 390.xx only support installation on 64-bit operating systems, but 32-bit library support is still available on systems where the user wants to run graphics 32-bit applications.
