if you are using the nvidia.run diver and NOT THE RECOMMENDED ( akmod-nvidia.rpm that IS IN the fedora repo , and is BY FAR the easiest to use)
you boot NORMALLY into your normal user account
then use "telinit 3" and relogin as root in the, now, text only os
put the current *.run in /
then run chmod on it to add the executable tag to it
Code:
su -
your root password when asked
cd /
chmod +x *.run
telinit 3
------- relog in as root in the TEXT ONLY login ------
cd /
sh *.run
then VERY VERY VERY important BEFORE YOU reboot
REINSTALL mesa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes YOU NEED to do this if you use the run driver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so after you fallow the onscreen instructions for the .run driver and BEFOR reboot run this
Code:
yum install *mesa
--- then this to replace the files that the .run REPLACED/CHANGED !! ---
yum reinstall *mesa
YOU MUST do that the .run CHANGES some FEDORA SYSTEM FILES and you need to FIX that.

they don't -- fedora is rather simple , as far as a VERY fast pasted R&D distro is concerned.
and seeing as 15
