Well, obviously his RPM includes a script to modprobe the Nvidia module after installation which fails on your machine because you have no Nvidia card. Either you can manually select the packages from his site and see which ones require the Nvidia package and ignore those or you can ignore dependencies and force the install. If you use Kpackage, you can check the ignore dependencies block to do that. Or use the urpmi command line to do it. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
