When I followed the instructions on the wiki, i.e. yum install nvidia with
the ATrpms repository active and then rebooted, the screen when black at the
point in the book process where it switches to X.  I researched this and
everything I found (strongly) recommended using the nvidia drivers from RPM
Fusion if you weren't going to use the proprietary installer from nvidia.
So I did a clean install of Fedora and followed that advice, and my nvidia
is now up and running.  So at this point I need to know what to do about
MythTV.  i.e. is the RPM Fusion version OK, and if not can I safely disable
that repository and install ATrpms and use that for all the other software,
or do I maybe have to use that yum priorities thingy.  

 

I suppose I could do another fresh install and start over with the ATrpms
nvidia drivers, but given my previous experience that would seem kinda like
Einstein's definition of insanity.
