Hi to all,
I've tried to install %subj% on FC1 but X server fails on same
config
either with CC=gcc32 (for old-good 44.96). Do you have any expoerience how to successfuly install 53.28?

Before installing the nvidia drivers 4496 or the latest 5328 you
_must_
first remove XFree86-Mesa-libGL to avoid conflicts. After this
'export
CC=gcc32' then do the nvidia install as normal and all should be
fine.

I just did the nvidia install 5328 and had no problems so far i did
the
init 3.. installed the drivers and edited the x86 config file. then
init
5 and it went ok and shown an nvidia splash screen.. so you think i
will
be ok/? i am scared to rebooot my kernel in fear of a crash hehe
re-send as the reply seems to have got stripped and mashed on it's way. :/
You have the driver installed and thats Ok - Don't worry about reboots etc.! :) The need for removing the Mesa GL package is due to a file conflict which leads to GL related issues. The easiest way to see the problem is to fire up glxgears and then exit and try and fire it up again and watch the blank viewport. :( Removing the Mesa GL package prior to installing/re-installing the nvidia drivers removes the chance of this problem happening.
