[ATrpms-devel] nvidia-graphics 8774

[Paulo Cavalcanti]

What is the process to update nvidia drivers?

The only thing that yum offers to update is:

nvidia-graphics-devel.i386               2:1.0.8774-12.at       atrpms

and what I currently have is:

[lua:~/intro-cg/notes] qrpm nvidia
nvidia-graphics8762-1.0_8762-74.fc5.at
nvidia-graphics8762-devel-1.0_8762-74.fc5.at
nvidia-graphics8762-kmdl-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp-1.0_8762-74.fc5.at
nvidia-graphics8762-kmdl-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp-1.0_8762-74.fc5.at
nvidia-graphics8762-libs-1.0_8762-74.fc5.at
nvidia-graphics-devel-1.0.8762-11.at
nvidia-graphics-devices-1.0-5.fc5.at
nvidia-graphics-helpers-0.0.14-15.fc5.at

If yum does not update nvidia-graphics8762-1.0_8762-74.fc5.at,
what should I do to install

nvidia-graphics87774-1.0_8774-75.fc5.at

using yum?
