<p class=MsoNormal>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.

<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
