My PC is only 2-3 weeks old in my possesion and this is my first 
encounter with Fedora 9.
(Earlier I was running Fedora Core 5)
The only screen resolution option I have now is 640x488, and I would 
like to change that.
So I took a look at the ../resources/.. site, where I found instructions 
for downloading Nvidia-driver:

$yum install kmod-nvidia , nvidia installation through Livna.

Installation went OK , and I did reboot the PC as recommended,
but no change, and the PC does not identify the LCD. It is "unknown" to it.
It is configured as Vesa, which I guess is the best option when nothing 
else is known. But I saw a message flashing over the screen on bootup 
stating something about
the Nvidia driver - it would not take effect until.... something I did 
not manage to read before it vanished.
Does anyone know what I should be looking for? (I did demsg, but no 
trace of the message there)
