Hi Heracles,

This guide appears to do the trick.

Hi Guys and Gals,

My daughter has a problem in that she had to upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to
get her new wireless card to work. Unfortunately the only disk I could
find locally, when I visited, was Fedora 14 (she lives 500km away). As I
am unfamiliar with Fedora I made the mistake of assuming that it would
be as easy as Ubuntu and just did the change for her. All worked well
EXCEPT that it had no provision to easily load the proprietary NVIDIA
drivers so she has no 3D acceleration.

I gave her the link: "fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/nvidia-yum-kmod"
and she followed the instruction but she ends up with the final comment
"nothing to do" and no drivers are installed.

Remembering that any instructions to her will be by phone or email:
Is there a simple way to add the NVIDIA drivers to Fedora 14 or would it
be easier just send her a Ubuntu 10.10 disk and have her install that?
