With the RPMFusion repository active, I could not see the ccrma-testing version. So, I disabled RPMFusion. Then I was able to see the ccrma-testing version, and tried to install. I got the following error:<br><br>18:32:36 : ERROR: Dependency resolving completed with errors<br>18:32:36 : ERROR: Package: 1:xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-275.09.07-1.fc14.ccrma.x86_64 (planetcore-testing)<br> Requires: nvidia-settings<br>18:32:36 : ERROR: Package: 1:akmod-nvidia-275.09.07-1.fc14.ccrma.2.x86_64 (planetcore-testing)<br> Requires: akmods<br>18:32:36 : ERROR: Package: 1:xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-275.09.07-1.fc14.ccrma.x86_64 (planetcore-testing)<br> Requires: nvidia-xconfig<br><br><hr id="zwchr"><b>From: </b>"Fernando Lopez-Lezcano" <nando@ccrma.Stanford.EDU><br><b>To: </b>planetccrma@ccrma.Stanford.EDU<br><b>Sent: </b>Tuesday, October 25, 2011 2:06:03 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [PlanetCCRMA] CCRMA Video Issue<br><br>On 10/25/2011 10:09 AM, Bob Wilkinson wrote:<br>> Thanks Nando, I'll try that tonight.
