nvidia drivers in FC5

[*dEAD*]

has anyone managed to get the nvidia drivers working under FC5 without using yum

[Clunixchit]

nope. Im encountering the same issue that I cant install the kernel module for nvidia

[Jman]

Why would you ever not use yum? You have installed the ones direct from nvidia?

The test releases (FC5 has not been released yet) release a new kernel so often you might as well grab the source rpm from rpm.livna.org and rebuild every time.

I keep getting this error:

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so

My machine does support nx. Is anybody having any luck with an NX enabled machine?

I have the same issue. Using "setenforce Permissive" will work, but this is rather a workaround as a solution.

Don't we always have problems with the nvidia drivers?

Nope with the new modules/packages Clunixchit's link provided due to modular X.org.
I have 3D hardware acceleration with the development version of Fedora.

There are alot of problems with the nVidia drivers in my experience, the most serious of which is the nvidia xorg freezing bug where xorg freezes and is difficult to kill which can be seen here (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-March/007070.html), here (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-334436.html) and here (http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24703.html)
