How do I find out what other drivers are available for my kernel? I was running the open drivers from axel's yum repository. Attempting to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers tells me that "No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel."
<br><br>The only way I know to install the drivers is from Wilson's MythTV HOWTO, by running "yum -y install nvidia-graphics8776-kmdl-$KVER" - How do I know what the lower versions are? I assume I can switch versions by using the nvidia-graphics-switch command?
