Hi
After spending several hours on this, I now cry out for help.

I have just built a box with a MSI P6NGM motherboard, which has NVIDIA
GeForce MCP73 graphical chipset.

I have tried to install kmod-nvidia from livna, but it will not work. I only
get 800x600.
uname -rvp says:
2.6.23.12-1.rt14.2.fc8.ccrmart #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Dec 20 16:52:01 EST
2007 i686

I tried to install kernel-devel and then run
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run, but it says it's not the right version.

So:
- where can I find a kmod that work?
- how do I setup to compile my own kmod for this kernel ?
- should I be better off with another distro?
