I did a test install of FC4 to identify the problems I will need to resolve and the nVidia driver install is at the top of my list.

I installed the lv packages and on re-boot, X org errors. Was there something I needed to do before re-boot? Should I install from else where?

Thanks ...

enable the livna.org repository and
yum install kernel-module-nvidia-`(rpm -q --queryformat="%{version}-%{release}\n" kernel | tail -n 1)`

There is a new driver available (1.0.7667) on the Nvidia site that installs with no problems. I assume all yum updates have already been applied. See the readme file for installation instructions.

I have this one for laptops (http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=59937) but should also work on desktops.

Update my Nvidia the old way... get the binary *.run file from Nvidia.

Login as root and boot to init 3 screen(no X running)
setenforce 0
sh xxxxx.run (nvidia binary)
setenforce 1
reboot to back to X... done!
