nvidia drivers from freshrpms.net

[Fernando Lozano <fernando lozano eti br>]

Hi there,

I have a nVidia GEForce MX 440 card but never bothered with OpenGL 
applications before. But I just installed FC6 and heard all rumors about 
compiz, so I decided to give it a try.

I understand I need the nVidia proprietary drivers for compiz to work 
with my card, so I installed the package from Freshrpms.net. But it 
looks like the kernel refuses to load the drivers. At least I say a 
message saying so during boot and could not start X. I had to 
reconfigure X to use the Xorg open source driver (nv) instead of the 
proprietary one (nvidia) but I could not find in any log that message.

I read the docs from nVidia web site but had no success. What could be 
preventing the driver to load? Maybe SELinux?
