and before anyone asks..

rpmfusion probably won't pick this one up since it is a beta/release candidate. They will probably wait until the final release.

(now watch them make a liar out of me! :D )

[tox]

RPMFusion already have it. http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/development/i386/os/repoview/index.html

my guess Nvidia are waiting for RC2 of 1.11

[DBelton]

Maybe I need to start saying things.. like.. They won't put gnome 2 back in the repo for F15 :D

[tox]

thoough its good that Nvidia have a driver out for 1.11, shame ATI cant do the same

[chepioq]

it didnot work.

You need install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-280.11-1.fc16.x86_64.rpm and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-280.11-1.fc16.i686.rpm

The nvidia driver wont work with the rawhide kernel due to the extra debugging symbols.

[tox]

well if the Nvidia driver wont work Leigh why does nvnews.com bother making a driver foir a new x-server ?

( im not questing you. just wanna know why they boither to release a driver for a new x-server

The driver will work great with a normal kernel, the crap they add to the rawhide kernel prevents it working (this is a fedora only issue).

for update kernel to F16 and nvidia Driver X-server ,I could not go into the system,it is freeze, and I could not enter single interface by press ctrl+alt+f2.

For these, How can i recover my system without reinstall system.

Any help is appreciated,

Ciao,

David Lin

[peoklin]

if I use the liveusb to go into the system, which file I could delete or modify ,so that I could enter the system through the harddisk,and then install the old akmod-nvidia to recovery my system.

ciao,

David

[peoklin]

Is it possible using the liveusb go into the system to delete or modify some files,and then restart the computer through harddisk to go into the system?
