I couldn’t get the rpmfusion installation to work, but the guide for compiling the driver manually seems to work.
This guide might be easier to follow, it’s more step by step, remember to update xorg.conf that step seems to be missing.
Both guides suggest that once you have compiled nvidia.ko you can just update xorg.conf and use the driver. I don’t know if that part is outdated, but that didn’t work for me, that driver is missing all sorts of dependencies.
After rebooting, the xserver fails to start and the logs says it’s because it’s missing the files from the driver bundle. You can execute the nvidia install package as you would normally do, which will install all the dependencies the driver needs. It has a ncurses installer for running it in text mode.
After running the nvidia installer and restarting the system, the xserver seems to load, but for me the nvidia driver failed with an out of memory error when loading surface cache.
I don’t know if the driver fails because you shouldn’t run the installer or because it doesn’t work with my card (nvidia 1060), but the error I got seems to be related to using that card with xen.
It didn’t do any “permanent damage”, removing the blacklist allows you to switch back to the nouveau driver even if you have run the nvidia installer.
