[ATrpms-devel] nvidia FC6

[Paulo Cavalcanti]

Hi, Axel

I have to create an rpm for nvidia drivers series 9.x beta
because they restore some missed capabilities since
nvidia 8178.

Looking at the spec file, I did not see where the ModulePaths
are writen to xorg.conf. Is this being done by nvidia installer?

Also, to fix it for FC6, I will have to understand what is different
in xorg 7.1. I think xorg site is the best place to learn, right?

Do you now of any howto available elsewhere?

Thanks,

/Paulo Roma.
