[ATrpms-users] nvidia 100.14.19

[Paulo Cavalcanti]

New nvidia driver available:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_100.14.19.html

The source rpm is available here (the fc6 tag does not mean it is specific
to Fedora 6).

http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/srpms/nvidia-graphics100.14.19-100.14.19-92.fc6.src.rpm

I tested it in x86_64 using a Gforce 8800 GTS.

I can build the corresponding rpms for FC6, but I will no longer use the
"lcg" tag.

During my previous kmdls builds

I realized that nvidia-graphics100.14.11 required

nvidia-graphics100.14.11-kmdl-1:100.14.11-91.fc6 (without the tag).

Therefore, if one did not have at least an older kmdl for any kernel created
by Axel (which did not have any tag),
installing my kmdl had the side effect of removing the nvidia-graphics
package, and
of course, X did not start, in this case.

To avoid this kind of problem again, it is simpler to not use any tag from
now on.
