Newest Nvidia driver and still hangs @ anacron???

[vfulco]

After a few days of wrestling the xorg.conf file and the akmods/kmod apps, finally have it running properly with a dual display/one graphic card setup BUT only from init 3 and then startx. Trying with init 5 shows a segmentation fault right after recognizing the kmod driver but the sequence keeps running until it after it hits the anacron OK portion. This occurs with an NVIDIA 6800 XT which is covered by the 180.25 driver. Other forum Q&A suggests the wrong driver but NVIDIA recommends this one. TIA.

A little more digging indicates the working Xorg.conf is being overwritten when rebooting and it eliminates the BusID (PCI:07:00:0) and Screen (1) assignment in Device 0 but leaves it for Device1.

So: open livna-config-display and tell it to STOP DOING THAT! I.E.: un-check the box that allows livna-config-display to auto-edit xorg.conf.

Please search the forums, as this is a "feature" of the RPMFusion NVidia driver package suite.

Thanks much HLinger. Eyes bleary from surfing too many forum posts ;-) Still seeing the seg fault but my manually fixed xorg.conf is working properly. Now on to adding a 2nd card and third screen. Best, V.
