Determining your card model
To determine your card model, open a Terminal (Applications > System Tools > Terminal) and type:
/sbin/lspci | grep VGA
Installing the drivers
Akmods
An akmod is a new type of package similar to the kmod. Akmods have a feature set similar to dkms, as they will rebuild a binary kmod package for you if one does not exist when you boot with a new kernel. However, akmods have more overhead than regular kmods as they require a few development tools such as gcc and automake. If you think you'd like to use akmods, simply replace kmod with akmod in the instructions below. For example, kmod-nvidia-96xx becomes akmod-nvidia-96xx. Akmods are fully compatible with regular kmods, so you can switch between the two or even use both at once without any problems.
Fedora 10
Please remember that once the drivers are installed, they will configure your xorg.conf automatically and changes will take effect after a full reboot. There is no need to run nvidia-xconfig or other tools.
GeForce 6 and higher
yum install kmod-nvidia
GeForce 5 (FX series)
yum install kmod-nvidia-173xx
GeForce 2 through GeForce 4
yum install kmod-nvidia-96xx
Older
Unfortunately, nVidia has not yet released a 71.xx legacy driver compatible with Fedora 10.
Fedora 8 and 9
GeForce 6 and higher
yum install kmod-nvidia
GeForce 5 (FX series)
yum install kmod-nvidia-173xx
GeForce 2 through GeForce 4
yum install kmod-nvidia-96xx
Older
Unfortunately, nVidia has not yet released a 71.xx legacy driver compatible with Fedora 10.
yum install kmod-nvidia-legacy
Special note: x86_64 users
If you wish to have 3D acceleration in 32bit packages such as Wine, be sure to install the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i386 package for your driver variant. For example, if you installed kmod-nvidia then you will require xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i386, but if you install kmod-nvidia-96xx, you will need xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-96xx-libs.i386.
Troubleshooting
If you're experiencing problems with the drivers (in particular, lack of 3D after using nvidia-xconfig or nvidia-settings), try executing these commands:
nvidia-config-display disable nvidia-config-display enable
This will re-configure xorg.conf for use with the RPM Fusion drivers.
