I did the usual below and then I tried to yum remove and yum install the nvidia drivers but they don't exist. I think I still need the 9631 drivers since my card is integrated on the mobo. Here is a ton of info. Last time I fixed this by creating a symlink to the driver using a different extension but that didn't work this time...

eah but I backed off to 4-65 again and all the old drivers wouldn't work anymore. Tried looking how everything was name and it was as it is listed above. So I guess the question is which graphics drivers do I need. I'm pretty sure nothing above 9631 works on my card so which one?
Thanks a ton!
Eric
