I haven't but I need to
but not with all the yum mirrors down !!

Its been a painful story
Installed F9 on a machine with old Matrox G550 graphics card
X will only give 800x600 Resolution !!!!

Bought a cheap nvidia card - runs slowly with nv driver !!!
livna not rebuilding nvidia at the moment!!!!

The machine dual boots F8 (Stable) and now F9
so I need to get it going for F8 as well as F9

Half way there

John

Livna kmods have been rebuilt - a yum update a short time ago
gave me the files so I am now running my f8 machines fully
up to date.

Nice to see livna build system is back again -

Likewise for Fedora 9, if people are still waiting for it on there, too.

I am having the same problem. That's one update I'll remember. My stuff:

yumdownloader --enable=livna --source nvidia-kmod-173.14.12-2.lvn8

yumdownloader --enable=livna --source xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.lvn8

yum --nogpgcheck localinstall
kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.14-69.fc8-173.14.12-2.fc8.i686.rpm
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.fc8.i686.rpm
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-173.14.12-1.fc8.i686.rpm

+ exit 0

rpmbuild --rebuild xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.lvn8.src.rpm
--define "kernels $(uname -r)" --target $(uname -m)

and my errors from this command

Building target platforms: i686
Building for target i686
error: Architecture is not included: i686
