IMPORTANT:
In order to start Lightworks you must install and run the 'RPM Fusion' repositories, which can be
found at: rpmfusion.org/Configuration. You will
need both the Free and NonFree versions. Detailed instructions can be found in the
"Installation and Activation Guide" on the Downloads page under Documentation.
Linux distributions have OpenSource graphics card drivers installed by default. This means
Lightworks will not run correctly (images of the incorrect size during playback and possible
performance problems). It is strongly recommended for users to install the proprietary graphics
card drivers before installing Lightworks.

Recommended instructions
Step 1
Fresh install of Fedora 20

Type: cd to the folder you downloaded the file to
Type: chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-LATEST.run (This makes the file executable)
Restart the system
Step 2
Open the terminal and type: vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (This will create you a new file called blacklist.conf in that directory) VI basics can be found at: http://staff.washington.edu/rells/R110/#basics

Press: F10 and the system will reboot to text mode (init 3)
Enter the username and password
Type: su followed by the password
Type: cd /home/USER/Downloads or the directory where you downloaded the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-LATEST.run drivers
Type: ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-LATEST.run (The Nvidia driver installation begins)
Accept license agreement
Install 32 bit compatibility
Automatically update nvidia-xconfig utility so Nvidia x driver is used when you restart x select: yes
Reboot and you should now have Nvidia drivers installed and working on Fedora! You can confirm this by going into settings where you should see the Nvidia X Server icon
