The "nv" driver doesn't work on my GeForce 6600LM. Installing Nvidia's driver however gives the following errors when starting X:
(II) LoadModule: "glx" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module glx (II) UnloadModule: "glx" (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0) (II) LoadModule: "nvidia" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia" (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
The reason being Nvidia's driver by default installs modules to /usr/X11R6/lib64/modules, however, FC7 now installs Xorg related modules to /usr/lib64/xorg/modules
Solution: Specify the module path during installation.
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9755-pkg2.run --x-module-path=/usr/lib64/xorg/modules
Let the installation updates xorg.conf automatically.
Done. Enjoy!
