Fedora 12 & Nvidia Video Card

Each time after updating the kernel, the Nvidia driver should be re-configured.
Press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to enter the command-line mode and login as root.
Reinstall the driver by running

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run

and after that run

init 5

to enter the normal x11 mode.
