Drivers for Nvidia gpu

[demetris]

Hi! I switched to Fedora from Ubuntu 8.04 this week and everything is fine except of the drivers for my nvidia gpu. Its a TNT2 Riva. I tried akmod and kmod nvidia-96xx (legacy) and the newer version (17xxx) but the earth didn’t move (I mean any more than the 383 miles it was gonna move anyway), X server works only with the buggy "nv" driver.

My question is, is my GPU supported by Fedora 10?
If the answer is yes, who do I install the driver?
If its not, can I install yum on a Debian based distro? (yum is the main reason I switched to Fedora)

PS. Sorry for my bad English. Is not my native language.

The fact you have an xserver in the firstplace tells me it's supported. have you tried the official nvidia drivers?

As I said, X Server uses the opensource "nv" driver, not the closed source "nvidia" from rpmfusion.
have you tried the official nvidia drivers?
Isn't the rpmfusion's driver the official driver?

Fedora support the "nv" driver. Only Nvidia support the nvidia driver. So see Nvidia's forum (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14) and the list of nvidia releases (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122606).

OK, I installed the kernel module builded by nvidia-installer, added "nvidia" in the xorg.conf file but still, X server uses "nv"
