I've had good luck using Dell's nvidia RPMs from here: http://linux.dell.com/files/nvidia/ They're a little out of date, but it's basically a wrapper around the nvidia CLI installer so it's not too hard to drop the latest&greatest in if you want to. -- -- Skylar Thompson (sky...@cs.earlham.edu) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/
