[mythtv-users] Yum Issue FC5

[John T. Nissley]

I ran into the same problem.  If you do a uname -a it will tell you what
version of linux you are running.  I am running 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5.  If
everything is still working (ie X still starts) then you may want to
leave things alone.

But if you are the adventuresome type or X is not starting you can look
through your log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) at about line 330 you will see
the problem.  It appears that one of the modules does not exist for this
version of the nvidia driver.

What I first tried was to install the latest version of the nvida driver
which is 8776.  I had the same problem with this version.  I then found
that version 7184 appeared to have all of the required modules and was
able to install without error.

I am not sure if this is necessary but if you want to clean out all of
the old versions of the drivers you can do the following.

#rpm -qa | grep nvidia

This will give you a list of 5 or so modules per version of the driver
you have installed.  They have to be removed in a specific order so if
you get an error just try removing one of the other modules first.

To remove the modules do the following

#rpm -e <module name>

Like I said, I was finally able to install the nvidia version 7184 and X
started working again.

#yum -y install nvidia-graphics7184-kmdl-$KVER
#yum -y install nvidia-graphics7184

The latest nvidia on atrpms is 8776, any ideas?
