Hi: I've just moved my Fedora 17 box from ATrpms to rpmfusion.
I had a
problem with OpenGL and nVidia 304.64, which I think I had seen before
with the ATrpms build but had worked around by reverting to 304.51
That's no longer easy. I'm using a GeForce 7500 LE card, not vdpau capable.
The packages as installed load modules from X.org instead of those from
nVidia. The driver seems ok after editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf like this:
Section "Files"
# ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/nvidia/xorg"
# ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1"
EndSection

repoquery --envra --releasever=17 \*nvidia\*
1:kmod-nvidia-304.88-1.fc17.3.x86_64
so
yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
Don't understand if you have any problem , but consider first uninstall
ATrpms which we already have on repos , to avoid conflicts ...
And I have another unrelated observation:
The '*config-smart-17-2.x86_64' package in nonfree-updates claims to
apply to nonfree but is named free and conflicts with the one in the
'free-updates' repo.
you need or use smart ?
