Someone called my name ... :) Mark, first make sure you need the -304xx driver by running nvidia-detect: http://elrepo.org/tiki/nvidia-detect Once confirmed, you need to install the latest version of kmod-nvidia-304xx from the elrepo-testing repository on your 6.6 OS. Please see: http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=517 They will eventually be moved to the elrepo main repository. Akemi
