NVidia's Driver's and the latest FC2 kernel

[jithu]

got mine working after upg from FC2 to FC3..(used yum to upg, it worked good)
dell 8600 laptop, nvidia 5200, 1920x1200 resolution..

1. download the latest NVIDIA driver from their site.
2. download the kernel*src.rpm and build the  RPM..(search this list on bulding 
kernel source RPM..note: i did have to give rpmbuild --target i686 for
the RPM build to work..
install the kernel source.
3. while at runlevel 3, follow NVIDIA installation instructions.
4. after driver install, follow these steps to fix the udev stuff..

so far so good on FC3..

geeks got to make
it harder everytime:-)
