Cannot install nvidia driver in fedora 10

[hareeshkumaru]

I have just installed fedora10 in my system which has GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM) nvidia grahics card. I have previously used fedora 8 and have installed driver using the yum command. But now when i use the same command i get this.

[root@localhost prog]# yum install kmod-nvidia
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package kmod-nvidia available.
Nothing to do

Then i did a search for nvidia in the yum list. But it returned nothing..

[hareesh@localhost prog]$ yum list | grep nvidia
[hareesh@localhost prog]$

Please help me install the nvidia drivers. thanks in advance..

You may need to install rpmfusion repo. Follow the link.

Can you please post either of this:

# rpm -q rpmfusion
# rpm -qa |grep rpmfusion

Edit: Also post the following:

# yum search kmod
# yum search nvidia

[hareeshkumaru]

But here it says rpm fusion is not installed

[root@localhost prog]# rpm -q rpmfusion
package rpmfusion is not installed
[root@localhost prog]# rpm -qa |grep rpmfusion
rpmfusion-free-release-8-6.noarch

Ok you need non-free repo installed, to be able to use kmod-nvidia. Try the following:

# rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

And then the rest according to Leigh's guide.

Hey thanks!! I was able to install.. Can you please educate me about the dependencies to check before installing this driver software? Can you please share this knowledge with me? I am a beginer..

Let me try, I think kmod is the kernel modules needed by the Xorg driver package (xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs) therefore xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs is dependent on kmod package.
