Sorry for the confusion, when I went to see what yum would install with the nvidia-graphics8756... package yum returned what I posted above as the package list it (yum) wanted to install.<br><br>I don't notice any "smp" packages listed on ATRPMS under the nvidia section (didn't do a thorough look though). So I guess back to my original question, the two packages I have from livna looks like it's got at least the kernel driver installed (for the SMP Kernel, I can verify it's loading the driver as I get the "kernel tainted" warning at boot in my /var/log/messages file).
<br><br>However, what i'm worried about, is i'm missing a potoad of utilities and devices that I should, otherwise have.<br><br>Can anyone confirm or deny that the packages above (xorg-x11-drv-nvidia and kmod-nvdia-smp packages listed first under the rpm -qa in my first message) will provide all the needed details or do I need to go back to livna and try to figure out what the other packages are from them?
