[PlanetCCRMA] question about nvidia kmod!

Wed Sep 22 19:21:16 PDT 2010


Is it necessary to enable the ccrma testing repository in order to install the kmod.  When the repo is enabled,  can I install it from Add/Remove software, or do I need to get it from the website?

> Hello , I wanted to post that I have managed to get the nvidia developer driver  driver  260.24 working with the 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.rt28.1.fc13.ccrma.x86_64.rtkernel.  I do get the warnings from abrt tool but that is nothing new.   I just wanted to let everyone that in case you are reluctant to try it.  If you need assistance, I will be happy to point you in the right direction.
