Nvidia Driver problem

Hey guys, I was hoping someone could really help me with this, I have been searching for solution every where.
I am trying to install the kmod-nvidia drivers onto my machine, knowing full well there is no kmod for FC14 kernel that I am running, I am hoping someone could me solve the problem. I have looked everywhere and could not find a solution. Anyway I was able to get akmods-nvidia install and was able to make my driver successively. I have properly disabled nouveau and as soon as I run my nvidia-xconfig things fail.


During boot I get this message,
Code:
Enabling the nvidia driver: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/nvidia-config-display", line 28, in <module>
    import livnaConfigDisplay.ConfigDisplay

When i telinit and try to startx manually I get this error in Xorg.0.log

I have done this successively on older versions of Fedora, I am trying to figure out a solution for this problem. If it persists I will just go back to previous version, but I really dont want to.


Thanks for all the help.

Re: Nvidia Driver problem

I am interested in this too with kernel 2.6.35.6-39.fc14.x86_64. Calling leigh123linux! I noticed there was a problem with debugging with previous kernel. Also it's great to see the progress with nouveau driver but its a little slow with games.

Re: Nvidia Driver problem

Yaay, everything is finally working. Today I did a install for nvidia-kmod, updated the xorg libraries automatically, and I was able to get into the nvidia-settings dialog. I still get that error at boot for the python module not loading properly. But at the moment I have my dual screens working(and pretty happy about it to). Thanks everyone working on fedora and nvidia drivers.

Just install the kmod-nvidia package and nvidia-xconfig and everyone who used the rpmfusion drivers should have success. Glad it was an easy fix though.

Also I run a glxinfo I get this sort of issue:
Code:
glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  138 (NV-GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  4 ()
  Resource id in failed request:  0x6400003
  Serial number of failed request:  30
  Current serial number in output stream:  30
My Xorg.0.log shows these errors, again it's related to GLX:
Code:
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
[    29.251] (II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
[    29.265] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
[    29.265] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
[    29.265] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
[    29.265] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     you continue to encounter problems, Please try
[    29.265] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
Hope its not a problem on my end, but if it helps the programmers in anyway I hope thats ok.

Thank You.
