FC14: Nvidia Quadro FX 1700 troubles with akmod-nvidia

[Greken]

Hi all!

I have setup my own custom image of Fedora 14 and installed the akmod-nvidia drivers using leigh123linux's guide:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=204752

With the exception that I used the latest driver that is available today:

• akmod-nvidia-260.19.36-1.fc14.x86_64
• xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-260.19.36-1.fc14.x86_64

This image has then successfully being installed on machines having the Nvidia Quadro cards: FX 1500, FX 1800 and FX 3800.

Currently, I have been trying my setup on two different machines with FX 1700 without success. The screen goes black once Fedora has booted. Ctrl + Alt + Fn does not work. The keyboard itself doesn't even responds.
If I uninstall the drivers Fedora boots as it should. I have not seen anyone else on this forum running both FX 1700 and Fedora 14.

By running leigh123linux's required command:

rpm -qa *\nvidia\*  *\kernel\*|sort;uname -r;lsmod |grep -e nvidia -e nouveau;

I get this result:

I also tried to delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf and recreated it using:

nvidia-xconfig

But it hasn't helped me either. I have attached both Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf to this post. The log does not contain anything suspicious.

I'm running out of ideas..

Anyone else using FX 1700 with Fedora 14?

EDIT:
Now that I compare the Xorg.0.log file with my machine it looks like it stops right before it's trying to detect what card the machine has.

To give you guys some updates:
Just tried to uninstall all drivers and install the latest testing drivers. I used the followings:

• akmod-nvidia-275.09.07-1.fc14.ccrma.2.x86_64.rpm
• xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-275.09.07-1.fc14.ccrma.x86_64.rpm
• nvidia-settings-1.0-11.fc14.x86_64.rpm
• nvidia-xconfig-1.0-9.fc14.x86_64.rpm
• xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-275.09.07-1.fc14.ccrma.x86_64.rpm

However it did not help me. The only difference is that it doesn't hang at the same place in the Xorg.0.log file:

Still fighting to solve this thing..!
