NVidia on FC4

Again, I got this off the Fedora Core 4 installation notes for us blokes with nVidia cards:

Download the appropriate driver from Nvidia's unix drivers page.

Change to runlevel 3.

Remove the "rhgb quiet" from /etc/grub.conf to disable the "Red Hat Graphical Boot"

Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf. In the "module" section comment the "load "dri" entry. In the "device" section change "nv" to "nvidia".

Add the line /sbin/modprobe nvidia to /etc/rc.local.

Disable selinux with /usr/sbin/setenforce 0
Execute sh nameOfNvidiaDriverInstaller.run

Reboot.

You should see the nVidia splash screen when Fedora reboots.

To get the graphical boot back:
cp -a /dev/nvidia* /etc/udev/devices
chown root.root /etc/udev/devices/nvidia*
Remove the modprobe nvidia line from /etc/rc.local
Add the "rghb quiet" back to grub.conf

Note that upgrading the kernel requires this whole procedure to be followed again!

Troubleshooting
If the driver installer complains about differing versions of gcc and the version the kernel was compiled with, do this:
sh nameOfNvidiaDriverInstaller.run --extract-only
cd nameOfNvidiaDriverInstaller.run

#I think this should be gcc40
# for FC4- not sure tho'
make install CC=gcc40 # used to be gcc32 for FC1
