I get the drivers from here:
Index of /packages/linux-nvidia/Linux-x86_64
or here:
Index of /packages/linux-nvidia/Linux-x86
depending on 32 or 64-bit install. The files are all named NVIDIA-something-something-something.run. The current driver is 190.42.
Then, I boot to a console, or alternately you can invoke a console from your GUI with alt-ctrl-F1. Then stop GNOME (you must be root, so use su or sudo or whatever Fedora uses):
Code:
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
Then navigate to the driver file and run it (again, you must be root):
Code:
sh /home/Daniel/Desktop/NAME-OF-DRIVER-FILE.run
If all goes properly, it will ask you if you want to write a new xorg file, say yes. It may also ask some other questions, just answer with the defaults.
For example, if it sees a previous driver install, it will want to remove it, but it will ask you first. It won't overwrite anything or remove anything without your permission (Chris - this is unlike Windows
). You must allow it to remove the prior install to allow the current one, so say yes. You'll have to logoff or restart afterwards.
