Thank you for your answer, leigh123
Too bad ! it didn't work ... still black screen. Somebody on a french spoken fedora-forum told me my xorg.conf was weird. He thinks it's been token from an other installation, actually it is not.

Try adding the module paths .


Code:
su
gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code:
Section "Files"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection

All the other output is normal .

I did, rebooted, and now I get the following good news:

Code:
glxinfo|grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 7100 GS/PCI/SSE2
    GL_NVX_conditional_render, GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap, GL_SGIS_texture_lod,
I will now first install Google Earth, and see what happens. Will it be slow or not?

Edit: On startup GE doesn't complain it's in GL mode, but it does occasionally (er, no often) hang for half a second. I'll try other features later, but it seems to have worked. Thanks a lot Leigh!

Heyas!
I still can't seem to figure out what my off-colour issue is. Tried native and the 'fusion drivers, both seem to display the same issue when playing back videos.
http://users.on.net/~bleeter/pix/Par...off_colour.png

Purple trees and grass, orange skies... can't recall off the top of my head what colour people's faces are, apart from it not being right. All movie playback programs (Totem, VLC, MPlayer) exhibit the same issue, so I'm fairly certain it's neither and application or content problem.

I've been poking around here for a couple of days, and on the nVidia forum too, with no real 'result'. Maybe it's just because the search terms I've been trying have been too general :/ If I'm reading the README correctly, http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...hapter-23.html , it's probably to do with the Composite extension. But what to do about it has me all at sea. HALP!

Logout should do it, as should a CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE. If you're a single user system, init 3 then 5 should be fine, though you may want to pause at 3 to ensure no stray runlevel 5 processes that interact with X are still hanging around, that can (in some circumstances) mess with stuff.

IMPORTANT, READ THIS: No entries for mouse and keyboard in the xorg.conf
Link: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Featu...devInputDriver

It seems most people don't know it.

I've mentioned it a couple times, but the nvidia-xconfig adds the "core" devices since it doesn't know about the evdev changes and most people just cut-n-paste what they are given or what they had.
