we can't fix bugs in binary drivers.


Comment 3 Landon Kelsey 2008-05-17 23:50:15 UTC
now I remember the problem several months ago!

It was fixed by somehow twiddling yum

the problem is not with the driver but the new kernel's requirement preceded the
order of loading nvidia.ko!

It was NOT a problem with the driver! 

NVIDIA would not be able to assist!
