Hi Subinfinity

Forgive me but I think your problem is a blank screen or thin line. I'm not an expert but here's what I've run into wrt 1280x1024 resolution (your 17" monitor); try adding nomodeset or vga=ask, then select your resolution, to grub's configuration. I have a 1280x1024 lcd monitor that won't fly without vga=0x31B or vga=0x317, I also have a 1440x900 monitor who won't fly without nomodeset and I believe they're plymouth issues (I'm sure someone will correct me).

good luck

EDIT: the nvidia driver in ubuntu did not work either. maybe the card is faulty.


i have tried all 3 Nvidia drivers for a Nvidia-GeForce 420 (toshiba) graphics card.

None of them work. I assume the following driver is the correct one but it hangs everytime:

yum install kmod-nvidia-96xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-96xx-libs


I checked the driver support list and the card is supported by nvidia. If i can't find a fix then i will try ubuntu.

Hi All,

Just need to confirm the 'upgrade' procedure to the new 177.xx driver.

I'm currently running fedora 9 with the following nvidia modules:
Code:
# rpm -qa | grep -i nvidia
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-173.14.15-2.fc9.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.15-2.fc9.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-173.14.15-1.fc9.7.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.26.6-79.fc9.x86_64-173.14.12-6.fc9.2.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-173.14.15-2.fc9.i386
kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.5-41.fc9.x86_64-173.14.15-1.fc9.6.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.7-53.fc9.x86_64-173.14.15-1.fc9.7.x86_64
I'm running an nVidia 8800 GTS as per:
Code:
$/sbin/lspci -nn | grep 'VGA\|NV'
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation G80 [GeForce 8800 GTS] [10de:0193] (rev a2)
with kernel
Code:
uname -r
2.6.27.7-53.fc9.x86_64
Is it simply a matter of removing the existing nvidia components with a:
Code:
1. yum erase *nvidia*
...and then installing as per leighs message?:
Quote:
Code:
su
rpm -Uvh http://www.lordmorgul.net/pub/fedora/rpmfusion/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://www.lordmorgul.net/pub/fedora/rpmfusion/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install kmod-nvidia-newest xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-newest-libs.i386 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-newest-libs.x86_64
reboot

nvidia driver support
Hi - I'm trying to install the appropriate drivers for FC 10 for my nvidia 6800 ultra card, but the kmod-nvidia packages don't appear to be available - any idea how or where I might find them?

cheers

You probably didn't add RPMfusion repositories, look at the first post of this thread.

I'm just trying to update my drivers to the current version, I've done the:-

Code:
 yum install akmod-nvidia-newest xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-newest-libs.i386 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-newest-libs.x86_64
But all I get in response is: -

I did reboot, and it built the modules. I can use everything else fine, apart from Compiz and emerald.
