No, 71.86 is the legacy nvidia. You just need to download these two files, plus the corresponding kernel module, and do: rpm -Uvh nvidia-graphics173*.rpm nvidia-graphics173.14.05-173.14.05-98.fc8.x86_64.rpm nvidia-graphics173.14.05-libs-173.14.05-98.fc8.x86_64.rpm These files are for x86_64. For i386, just download the equivalent rpms. If everything installs O.K., then, reboot. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
