Hi, I have an Asus G71 BB edition with a Nvidia geforce GTX 260M 1GB

I've been trying to install the driver like i did in F11 for the new F12 beta and I'm running into issues.

RPM Fusion is installed on my system but when i go for the nvidia driver i get this

[root@EXIA TheLonelyGod]# rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm

Thanks for any help. Also I encrypted my drive during the install. Is there any way to undo that in the future? Does it effect the boot speed?

the driver's not available for F12 yet, it will be soon. there's no very straightforward way to unencrypt a drive AFAIK, no.

Mk, Thanks. I'll most likely just reinstall from scratch when F12 officially releases then to solve the encryption thing.
