[ATrpms-users] Legacy nVidia Drivers for Latest F15 Kernel

[John Welch]

Hello Axel and others,

One of my F15 workstations has an older nVidia FX5200 video card.  The
latest drivers for this card are the 173.14.30 series.  I just updated
the system to the latest F15 kernel (2.6.40-4) and it looks like the
kernel modules for my video card are missing.  I looked at the ATrpms
repo first before updating and I *thought* I saw the right kernel
modules, but apparently I wasn't looking at the right thing.

Any chance on getting these legacy drivers built for the latest
kernel, or are there issues?  I did some searching around to see if
there are any known issues with the 173.14.30 drivers and the 2.6.40
kernel, and didn't find anything.  Not that I use the repo, but it
does appear that RPMfusion has their version of the modules built.

Thanks,
John
