Hi all,

Im having trouble gettin my nVidia 6200 drivers installed. I have searched on the boards and only found a couple of instances of my issue but no resolution. I try

yum install kmod-nvidia

it runs through its files then ends with

Error: nvidia-x11-drv conflicts with xorg-x11-drv-nvidia

I have been running Linux for a bit now but never encountered this error. know any fixes?

Thanks in advance

Try


su
yum erase nvidia-x11-drv
yum install kmod-nvidia
reboot

Why did you try to install two nvidia drivers ?


nvidia-x11-drv = freshrpms based nvidia driver

kmod-nvidia = Livna nvidia driver

I didn't try to install 2 drivers I just tried to install kmod-nvidia

I tried yum erase nvidia-x11-drv and it gives this

No Match for argument: nvidia-x11-drv
No Packages marked for removal

That Worked!

I used to just use yum install kmod-nvidia and yum just installs what it needs, but I guess it didn't do that this time. any ideas as to why?
