    NVidia driver installation fails...

    When I try to install the driver, it comes up with an error when it tries to compile the kernel interface...

    I've uploaded the log file for details of the error, and in that it suggests to try the 'make oldconfig' and the 'make prepare' commands. make oldconfig is fine, but make prepare comes up with the error:

    make[1]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'. Stop.
    make: *** [prepare0] Error 2
    This is on Fedora 10.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Go to RPM Fusion, install their repository on your system, then use yum to install the prebuilt kmod-nvidia.

    Complains that it can't install

    The shell, on the other hand, says that the repositories are already installed:
    package rpmfusion-free-release-10-1.noarch (which is newer than rpmfusion-free-release-8-6.noarch) is already installed
    Yet I still see no Nvidia drivers...

    You need RPMFusion Non-free.
