Nvidia GeForce 8200 in Fedora 11
It in itself is quite simple to install drivers for these cards, but for those who leave here know how to do it the easy way to do it. Just follow the following steps:
Step 1
Sign in as a root and install Yum installer repositories and then the kmod-nvidia driver

Code:

[tatica @ silicony /] $ su --
Password: password-here place -
[root@siliconia ~]# rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm [root @ silicony ~] # rpm-ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
[root@siliconia ~]# rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm [root @ silicony ~] # rpm-ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
[root@siliconia ~]# yum -y install kmod-nvidia [root @ silicony ~] # yum-y install kmod-nvidia

Step 2
The most certain is that your driver is not working, this is because you need the PAE for your kernel. How do I know if I need the Kernel-PAE?

Code:

[root @ silicony ~] # / etc / init.d / nvidia status
nvidia.ko kmod-nvidia for kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE was not found
The nvidia driver will not be enabled
[root@siliconia ~]# [root @ silicony ~] #

So, What is the Kernel-PAE and because I need it? Is an extension of physical address (Physical Address Extension or PAE) is a feature of x86 processors that allows 32-bit systems use up to 64 gigabytes (64 MiB ). But what I want is that my Nvidia to work ... I do?

Step 3

Code:

First you need to know which kernel you have to know that PAE install.
[root @ silicony ~] # uname-a 
167.fc11.i686 Linux-siliconia.tatica.org 2.6.29.4 # 1 SMP Wed May 27 17:28:22 EDT 2009 i686 athlon i386 GNU / Linux 
[root@siliconia ~]# [root @ silicony ~] #

And finally, when it matches the kernel that you must install the SAP

Code:

[root @ silicony ~] # yum-y install kmod-nvidia-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE 
[root@siliconia ~]# [root @ silicony ~] #

Step 4

Code:

Finally it verifies that the module is running and then restart your computer.
[root @ silicony ~] # / etc / init.d / nvidia status 
nvidia.ko for kernel 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE was found. 
The driver is enabled. 
[root@siliconia ~]# [root @ silicony ~] #

How 3D graphics operations are performed obviously depends on the model of graphics card used, because there is no standard hardware. As it is unthinkable that applications that wish to use 3D capabilities of modern computers have to take into account the type of card, the software interface standards have been defined. Of all these interfaces, Linux still supports only OpenGL. Whatever your graphics card, you'll also probably interest enable support for AGP in the kernel.
