If you’re wanting to use the nvidia proprietary driver, rather than the nouveau driver provided by default in Fedora 11+, then do the following (minus the quotations):
1. Add this to the end of the kernel line in /etc/grub.conf -> “nouveau.modeset=0 vga=0×318″
2. command: ” su -c ‘rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm’ ”
3. Command: “yum update && yum install kmod-nvidia”
4. Reboot
5. You’re done !
(For searching purposes….) Here’s the error you’re likely to receive if trying to install the nvidia package, provided by nvidia…
This can occur when a driver such as rivafb, nvidiafb or rivatv was loaded and obtained ownership of the NVIDIA device(s). Try unloading the rivafb, nvidiafb or rivatv kernel module
