F17 Nvidia guide
Please note if you require help -- provide this basic information!
Code:
rpm -qa *\nvidia\* *\kernel\*|sort;uname -r;lsmod |grep -e nvidia -e nouveau;cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
lspci |grep VGA
__________________________________________________ _____________________________________
F16 and F17 Howto for the rpmfusion nvidia drivers
Click here for supported Nvidia cards list
This is a Four-Step Process. If you don't follow all three steps, your install will fail!
1. Update the kernel and reboot
Code:
su
yum update kernel\* selinux-policy\*
reboot
2. Install the nvidia driver.
For GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 200, 300, 400 & 500 series cards
Using akmod: This is the best option in my opinion as you don't get any problems when a new kernel is released.

yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
Or using kmod (which saves a bit of disk space but will have problems with every kernel update.)
( if you have 4Gb of RAM or more you will probably have a PAE kernel [32bit only] so follow the PAE part )

Re: F17 Nvidia guide
Admin note:
Please note that this is an extension of Leigh's normal Nvidia installation guides. For the sake of a shorter thread, and simplicity, I have moved the F16~F17 guide to a thread of their own.
That being said, please know that this is all still Leigh's fine handiwork, and not my own. I simply opened the thread.

Re: F17 Nvidia guide
One issue for efi users....
--------------------------------------
Installing : 1:xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-295.53-1.fc17.x86_64
error opening /boot/grub/grub.cfg for read: No such file or directory
--------------------------------------
Because on a efi system that file will not exist...
The file is
/boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf
And that is grub1 config (uefi defaults to grub1..)
What changes are made to grub during the install?
anyone know what changes I should do ?

Re: F17 Nvidia guide
I don't know how much, if any, help this might provide, but you can see what the install/uninstall scripts are doing associated with the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia rpm package. I ran it on my F16 /w kmod-nvidia installed and there is no attempt to check for a /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf flle in the postinstall scriptlet.
Code:
rpm -q --scripts xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
Ahh...right. If the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-295.53-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm package isn't installed (due to that error), then use:
Code:
rpm -qp --scripts xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-295.53-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm

F17 with nVidia GT630M
Hi,
I've just purchased a new laptop (Asus N53SM) with nVidia GT630M. Though Asus' advertising literature said nothing about this, it seems as though it is an Optimus setup, with an Intel chip controlling the display.
I am having trouble installing the nVidia drivers, and I suspect that is why. After installing akmod-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686, at the next reboot Fedora 17 hangs at "[OK] Started Display Manager". It is a fresh [updated] installation.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a way around it? Or is this problem unrelated to the Optimus setup?
Code:
[root ~]# lspci |grep -i VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0de9 (rev a1)
Thanks!

AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
Thanks Dan fo continuing this thread.
I have followed the instructions, as well as including the BusID and a CustomEDID, but now I am getting "AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0" in my Xorg logs without sadly any error markers (EE). Can anyone spot something that I've done wrong or overlooked?
