What do you mean by a bit unstable? kmod-nvidia-96xx is still in the testing repo because no one has yet confirmed the package works at all. If it's a driver related issue then you should report it to NVIDIA here attaching the appropriate nvidia-bug-report.log file: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46678 and if it's a packaging issue you should report it here: http://elrepo.org/bugs Hope that helps. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
