I installed the xorg requirements.
./xf86-video-nv
ran in terminal as su
it completed
I checked in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/
and saw that "nvidia_drv.so" "nv_drv.so" & "nv_drv.la"
had all just been updated.
restarted and alas, nothing had changed.
Is there a step I'm missing?

Not that I am aware of. Unless for some reason the patch didn't apply properly.
Open up the script in a text editor of some sort. You can kind of guess what each line does.
Might need to manually edit the source like you were orginally doing. and then just follow the last few steps in the script to do your manual compile.
I really don't have much advice other than that.....

Well, I had a few extra minutes here and went through and tried to figure out what was wrong. It doesn't look like the patch was getting applied properly.
What I did was edit the nv_dac.c file manually and repackaged the source. Download it from here.
http://www.mnkiespalace.com/xf86-vid...2.1.12.tar.bz2
Once it is downloaded just cd to wherever you downlaoded the file to. Then type
tar xvjf xf86-video-nv-2.1.12.tar.bz2
cd xf86-video-nv-2.1.12
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
su
enter your password
make install
After you complete that you should be done.

thanks. I finally got my fedora up and running again and I immediately ran this. However, upon "make install" I got the error:
No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
so
I started as superuser
su -
entered password
tar xvjf xf86-video-nv-2.1.12.tar.bz2
cd xf86-video-nv-2.1.12
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
I checked drivers directory and nv files had been updated. I restarted and, how shall I put this?
It Works! It Works! It Works!
Thanks! A dozen time, thanks. I'm backing this up. It's so great to have my screen display properly. Anybody who has this iMac & is running Linux is going to want to install this.
... thanks again & again.

Glad it worked out man. I would suggest keeping that source .bz2 in a safe place in case I accidentally remove it from my server.
