fedora+nvidia driver+xbmc

1. Update the kernel and reboot

Code:

su
yum update kernel*
reboot

2. Install the nvidia driver. ( if you have 4Gb of RAM or more you will probably have a PAE kernel [32bit only] so follow the PAE part )

For GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 200 & 300 series cards

Code:

su
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686

3. Reboot

If it fails to work check /boot/grub/grub.conf to see if nouveau is blacklisted, if not run.

1. Edit grub.conf

this command adds rdblacklist=nouveau option to /boot/grub/grub.conf

Code:

su -
sed -i '/root=/s|$| rdblacklist=nouveau|' /boot/grub/grub.conf
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

2. Reboot

after this install xbmc with the command below
yum install xbmc
