kmod-nvidia for kernel -217 please ?

2009-08-18 Thread Linuxguy123
'yum update' is showing a new kernel is available.  However, those of us
running non open source video drivers (for various reasons) cannot
update because the new kmod-nvidia driver isn't built for the new
kernel.

Could someone build it and push it out to the repositories ?

Thanks 

PS: Thanks for supplying the kmod-nvidia driver.  I used to have to
build it myself.  I'm glad I don't have to.  Good job.

Why not install akmod-nvidia (rpmfusion-nonfree-updates)? Then you are 
independent from the current kernel (the module will be rebuilt on the 
first boot of a new kernel).

I'll give it a try.

I didn't build when I rebooted.  The boot hung.  

For some reason my wifi card doesn't connect to the network during the
boot.  It establishes a connection and works just fine during my KDE
session, but it doesn't establish a connection during the boot.

I'm still waiting for kmod-nvidia so I can use the new kernel.

It would probably better to ask this on an rpm fusion list.

The updated package should be available in the mirrors in a few hours.
