[mythtv-users] How do I install an older nvidia driver on Fedora 10?

[Niels Dybdahl]

Hi,

Due to a bug in the newest nvidia driver (v 180 see
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/NVidiaProprietaryDriver#Choppy_video.2FHigh_CPU_Usage),
I want to install an older version (e.g v 177). I have my driver from
rpmfusion.org, but in that repository there is no older driver compiled for
my kernel.
I have tried to install an older version from nvidia.com. However it can not
find any precompiled kernel module and when it tries to compile one it fails
with errors like:

/tmp/selfgz21991/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.70.33-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv-linux.h:107:27:
error: asm/semaphore.h: No such file or folder
/tmp/selfgz21991/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.70.33-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv.c:1279:
error: too many arguments to function 'smp_call_function'

What is the easiest way to get an older driver running? Try to change to an
older kernel?

Best regards
Niels Dybdahl
