This package's name is kmod-nvidia-173xx-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686 and its version is 173.14.18-1.fc10.1 (the nvidia driver version and fedora version). The driver built for kernel-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686. This package's name is kmod-nvidia-173xx-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686 and its version is the same as above. This is a generic package with no driver, but with dependencies that will force installation of the correct driver package after a new kernel is installed. Its name is kmod-nvidia-173xx and its version is the same as above. The whole thing is some magic with names and version numbers and dependencies to make sure that you can get a kernel without the driver, but that once a driver is available, it will be added to updates automatically. I don't know how it works, exactly. Maybe someone else? There are also akmod-nvidia packages that automatically recompile the drivers for updated kernels so you don't have to wait to download them. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
