Hi,

due to a workstation reinstallation I realized, that the RPMForge nVidia
packages (nvidia-x11-drv, dkms-nvidia-x11-drv etc.) seem to have gone:


[root at balrog barabas]# yum --enablerepo=rpmforge search nvidia
Loaded plugins: dellsysid, fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* addons: centos.de-mirror-server.de
* base: ftp.plusline.de
* extras: ftp.plusline.de
* rpmforge: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de
* updates: ftp.plusline.de
======================================================== Matched: nvidia
========================================================
nvclock.x86_64 : Change settings of a Nvidia card
openexr.x86_64 : High dynamic range image file format
[root at balrog barabas]#


I can still see the packages on http://packages.sw.be/ but they have
gone from the repository
http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS/.

Any ideas if that is temporary? Our installation rely on these packages.

Cheers

due to a workstation reinstallation I realized, that the RPMForge nVidia
hi,

dkms packages are gone, you should now use the nvidia packages from
elrepo instead (kmod-nvidia, nvidia-x11-drv, nvidia-x11-drv-32bit).

Check out the front page of the site for instructions on setting up
ELRepo and the nvidia page for more information on installing that package:

http://elrepo.org
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia

If you get stuck, there is a mailing list too.

Hope that helps.

Hi!

due to a workstation reinstallation I realized, that the RPMForge nVidia
You should be using kmods from ElRepo unless you have a valid reason to
not to use them.
Post by Frank Thommen
Any ideas if that is temporary? Our installation rely on these packages.
Aren't they in RFX?
