You need to use the nvidia driver from the livna-development repo .



P.S you don't get a howto for F8 test ( as it is meant for beta testers )

You have to use the livna-development.repo for the F8 test

I can't seem to figure out how to add the Livna development repo with Fedora 8 Test 3. I keep getting errors that it doesn't exist. Could someone please offer the info that I must add to get this repo included?

su
gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/livna-devel.repo


then add this

Or you could install the F7 livna key and disable the livna.repo and enable the livna-devel.repo
