I've been bashing my head agiast this all night, I just installed fedora and am trying to get the driver for my nVIDIA card working. I've got the driver from nVIDIA's site, but when I try and run it it whines about X running... how do I turn X off? is there an easier way to do this? The sticky about installing using rpm doesn't work, error cannot resolve hostname and all.
Thanks for any help...

So why couldn't your PC resolve the hostname in the guide ?

That seems to have done it, it's not so jumpy now.
Next question, which I hope is a simple one; how do I enable DRI with this setup?
