[mythtv-users] nvidia-graphics9755 for Fedora 7 and error reading repomd.xml

[Kevin Clayton]

Editing the atrpms.repo file did take care fo the repomd.xml error.

And I tried getting the nvidia-graphics100 instead of the 9755 but
don't seem to have gotten installed anything.

   [root at zion yum.repos.d]# yum install nvidia-graphics100-kmdl-$KVER
   Loading "installonlyn" plugin
   Setting up Install Process
   Parsing package install arguments
   Nothing to do
   [root at zion yum.repos.d]# yum install nvidia-graphics100-libs
nvidia-graphics100
    Loading "installonlyn" plugin
    Setting up Install Process
    Parsing package install arguments
    Nothing to do
   [root at zion yum.repos.d]# yum list installed | grep nvidia
   [root at zion yum.repos.d]#
