Interesting. I started with the download page: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and entered Quadro FX 4600. That led me to: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-275.19-driver.html It indeeds lists the Quadro FX4600. If this card is supported by both -275 and -173, then either kmod would work (kmod-nvidia or kmod-nvidia-173). > I conclude that: > - the card is not yet legacy > - it is supported by kmod-nvidia > > Finally, should I uninstall the previous driver before installing the new > one? (Using the driver's rpm that came with the system) If you want to switch from kmod-nvidia-173 to kmod-nvidia, for example, then first uninstall the first one by: yum remove kmod-nvidia-173xx nvidia-x11-drv-173xx then install kmod-nvidia by following the instructions on the ELRepo's web site.
