Checking the scripts it runs with "rpm -q --scripts" shows me it installs /etc/init.d/nvidia which starts with #!/bin/sh # # chkconfig: 2345 8 92 # description: This script will check if a nvidia kernel module is present for\ # the running kernel and modify the xorg.conf to the appropriate\ # configuration. I guess all this combined made nvidia work here. Is your setup similar to the one above? Regards, Andre
