Default Re: Fedora 64 bit nvidia drivers

possible solutions :
1. 'yum clean all; yum install kmod-nvidia'
2. U may try to install an earlier version of kmod-nvidia that corresponds to '2.6.25-14.fc9'
3. Try updating first. ' yum update kernel* ', n then try.
4. U may manually install kernel-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64.rpm n then give a try.

And you can also drop a line in #fedora on IRC if nothing works.
