Thanks, Nicolas and Lamar, for your helpful posts. Indeed, subscribing to the ELRepo mailing list is strongly recommended for anyone using ELRepo packages. There is also a web page for the ELRepo Nvidia packages: http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia A page specific for the 304xx driver is here: http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia-304xx Akemi
