Well, it's just the Nvidia driver, so you won't be using it anyway, but to be on the safe side, ya I guess you would want to install the package that matches your kernel version. The only way you would ever *use* the Nvidia driver is if you specifically told X to load it in your XF86Config, AFAIK. I wonder if it's somehow linked with an updated version of XScreensaver or something, as a dependency. Like Bryan said, that probably shouldn't be, looks like someone made a bad move in building some package and built it against the Nvidia drivers. I would still investigate some way of skipping it altogether, since any apps you are going to be running that require GL rendering are just going to use your ATI driver, no? Maybe just try this instead: urpmi --media main --auto-select then urpmi --update --auto-select *then* urpmi --media contrib --auto-select and see if this Nvidia thing still comes up. Updating from main and update sources will give you all the big stuff anyway, like all the newest KDE and Gnome packages, updated kernel (which there was an advisory about today, BTW, for 9.1) etc. -- JoeHill ++ ICQ # 280779813 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "True communication is possible only between equals, because inferiors are more consistently rewarded for telling their superiors pleasant lies than for telling the truth."-- The SNAFU Principle
