[elrepo] Info Request

[Mike Hanby]

I'm using the following ELRepo packages:
kmod-nvidia-190.53-1.el5.elrepo
nvidia-x11-drv-190.53-1.el5.elrepo

On my 64bit CentOS 5.4 system 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5

Not a direct comparison, but might help ease your fears :-)

Before installing the ELRepo drivers, I'd recommend that you uninstall the nVidia (non RPM) version:

$ sudo /sbin/init 3
# nvidia-uninstall

Then install the repo packages and reboot.

hello everybody.
I'm having some issues trying to install nvidia proprietary driver on a Centos 5.4 32bit system (using kernel: 2.6.18-164.el5PAE), since with the latest version downloaded from nvidia.com i wasn't able to obtain a working X server. My system has a dual FX 570 configuration (it's a Dell Workstation). I was wondering if i would have been able to get it working through the drivers in the elrepo repository, but before giving it a try (and possibly messin' up my linuxbox again), i would like to know if there's anyone using a configuration similar to mine.
Thank you everybody
D.
