Did u try to install the package as "root" or as yourself? Also, did you modify your xorg.conf as in the installation instructions from Nvidia?

Hello! I just about week ago installed my first GNU/Linux operating system and it was Feodora Core 3. I am glad i chose this one, everything is working properly and i have installed every application i needed, but only one thing left - Graphic drivers. *My graphic card - NVIDIA GeeForce MX 4000 64 MB I tried NVIDIA drivers i found on www.nvidia.com and it didn`t work out. I downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run and quited X desktop and run VIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run with sh command from bash with parameter kernel name and it started to install but i received error and when i booted X desktop and tried to run application that need graphical accelerate i recieved an error - Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX visual. I can`t find out a different way to install a drivers for my graphic card. Sorry if this is lame, but i just started to use GNU/Linux and i am newb still at this moment in Linux.

I probably should advertise in this thread: rpm.livna.org packages the Nvidia drivers for Fedora, in a very user-friendly format. Here's how you install it:

1. Make sure you have the Livna repositories configured in yum. The most recent driver version resides in testing, the older one in stable. 2. Run "yum install nvidia-glx". 3. Restart X.

It takes care of all your configuration and little udev/modprobe hacks and whatnot. No init 3, running scripts, compiling stuff. When there's a new kernel released, you run "yum install kernel-module-nvidia-$(uname - r)" to install the corresponding kernel module. It also comes with a little init script that disables the nvidia driver if you happen to boot a kernel with no nvidia module, so that X will run just fine with the x.org driver.
