yeah … sometimes kmod-nvidia conflicts with other packages
so you can’t install it directly
even when you go to nvidia site and try to install it to your linux, you’ll be disappointed because compiz and other 3d effects won’t work perfectly
so you’ll have to install the “akmod-nvidia” package
first, know what’s your kernel version by typing:
#uname -r
then install nvidia
for redhat based:
#yum install akmod-nvidia-#kernel number
in ubuntu:
apt-get install akmod-nvidia-#kernel number
note that the bold words are comments
you can try using:
yum install akmod-nvidia-$(uname -r)
instead of the two lines above (but i didn’t test this one)
regards …
