Just for the record, I too manually install Nvidia drivers without a repo on all my machines (Both CentOS & Fedora). This issue can be triggered by xorg updates etc. It can be a bit of a pain having to reinstall the drivers manually, but for me I always run into some weird problem or other with the repository versions. So I just keep a good version of the driver at "/nv.run" and run it after each xorg or kernel update :-). But that is my personal preference. But if you do not get problems with the RPM versions I would recommend you get them :-). - -- Jake Shipton (JakeMS) GPG Key: 0xE3C31D8F GPG Fingerprint: 7515 CC63 19BD 06F9 400A DE8A 1D0B A5CF E3C3 1D8F -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPPXMDAAoJEB0Lpc/jwx2P8tcIAL5sjpLM9Mwb4UklXIJeKvC6 jd3DP01M5zO4XY01vb4GnmapSeH0Fkk2PQWrOCA92tEY5/Je6HMDuepHKl3icTtL SKTy9+vkD533XAwivx1/SaZL4lf8Xrglv9u2Tuh8gSwlW23W164sY+JMH4M0UduP 1cRGMlK95ZSppkx4BwiiwGttuwnY3vP6cHnhqYTwMzX6VIMei5fU13vKl5lOBISD gu+7K5YRDoxWHEfvOWXECutc0KVXRbgpeBNxNcKEcAMOJHVnS4pbLkzAzCAuF9Dc C8SVlZgMNFW0b34K42nOnlf5vbN5tMn4Pp7kTOiNERTZ71G8V5i/tnLeomvHWAE= =0Lsf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
