Fedora drivers?

I have an FX5600 and have just installed Fedora. Does anyone know if the
RH9 drivers can be used?

You mean the nVidia's forceware drivers don't you? They work. Before
installing the drivers, go to a shell and enter: telinit 3 That will
close down the X server which is required. Also, because of a mismatch
between the version of the compiler installed on Fedora and the version
the kernel was compiled with, the driver "interface" will fail to
compile during the install. You will have to enter: export
IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1 for it to work.

When done, enter: telinit 5 to load the X server again.

Make the changes mentioned in the readme file to /etc/X11/XF86Config and
when done, enter: telinit 5 to load the X server again.
