Start by downloading the drivers. The documentation that come with the drivers is very verbose but read it thoroughly.

If you still experience problems, use the search function in these forums. This question has been answered more than a thousand times by now.

yeah i still experience problems with downlo. and instal. drivers like nvidia on fedora 7

i'm running IDL and the functions like TV or TVSCL make it crush

error":
% X windows protocol error: BadColor (invalid Colormap parameter).

However other things requiring graphical interphase work
like PLOT or WINDOW
i was suggested to download drivers nvidia, but i have problems with installing it

please, could anyone help me with this ?

You need to create the livna repository and then uninstall any nvidia drivers that are already installed. Then you simply do
yum --enablerepo livna install kmod-nvidia
and that's it.

Just make a new file called livna.repo in /etc/yum/repos.d and copy over the lines below:

Code:

i'm not quite familiar with making repositories (i since fedora since last week) could you tell me what to exactly, please ?

oliwia · 09-08-2007, 01:34 PM

i don't have the directory /ect/yum/repos.d

what to do with that ?
i /ect/yum i have this: pluginconf.d yum-updatesd.conf

oliwia · 09-08-2007, 01:48 PM
