How to Install Nvidia Video Drivers and AWN on Fedora 9 with steps and pictures.
Step 1 - Install the Livna repository
First of all, make sure your system is up to date, then install the Livna repository like this:
Open a terminal (Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal)…
…and switch to root (system administrator) with the following command:
Type the root password (the one you have set up when you’ve installed Fedora). Then, as root, type:
rpm -ivhU http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm
Now that the Livna repository is installed, you can continue with the driver installation part.
Step 2 - Install the Nvidia drivers
I presume you did not close the Terminal window; if you did close it, fire it up again from Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal, log in as root and type:
yum -y install kmod-nvidia
To verify if the installation was successfully completed, reboot your computer, log back in, open up the terminal (Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal) and type:
glxinfo | grep direct
If the output of the above command is: direct rendering: Yes the Nvidia driver installation was successfully completed and you can now use OpenGL applications and desktop effects such as Compiz Fusion.
Step 3 - Install the Avant Windown Navigator (AWN)
First of all, let’s make sure that the desktop effects are working. Go to System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Desktop Effects and enable them.
Now open again the terminal from Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal and type or paste the following command as root:
yum -y install avant-window-navigator awn-extras-applets
Step 4 - Start and configure AWN
Start AWN from Applications -> Accessories -> Avant Window Navigator.
WARNING: Be aware that AWN will appear over your bottom GNOME panel, therefore you should delete the panel before launching AWN!
Start AWN from Applications -> Accessories -> Avant Window Navigator.
…and voila, AWN on Fedora 9!
For the Avant Window Navigator to automatically appear every time you log-in, open the Sessions program from System -> Preferences -> Personal -> Sessions…
On the “Startup Programs” tab, click the ‘Add’ button and fill the fields like in the image below.
