NVIDIA driver issue?
Today I performed a yum upgrade to F18 from F17. It went pretty smoothly I must say. The only problem I have had is getting the proprietary NVIDIA driver working. If I load the system without an 'xorg.conf' file it loads the default drivers just fine. When specifying the nvidia driver, however, the system will not load the display manager. Shell access is still available though. Is the proprietary driver ready for prime time yet or should I be more patient?
Code:
[vespa@qwerty ~]$ rpm -qa *\nvidia\* *\kernel\*|sort;uname -r;lsmod |grep -e nvidia -e nouveau;cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Re: NVIDIA driver issue?

Re: NVIDIA driver issue?
Try
Code:
akmods --force
dracut -f -v /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
reboot

Re: NVIDIA driver issue?
Hummmm...
For me it's very strange (maybe I don't understood)
I installed the nvidia driver 304.60-1 from rpmfusion repo.
When I boot, I can see nvidia logo.
nouveau is blacklisted (part of my xorg.conf) :
Code:
linux /vmlinuz-3.6.3-3.fc18.x86_64 root=UUID=83d24e47-9506-47d6-bb69-b7ba17757bad ro quiet rhgb SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=fr-latin9 vga=normal nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:off
I have a blacklist-nouveau.conf in my /etc/modprode.d
But when I run "rpm -qa *\nvidia\* *\kernel\*|sort;uname -r;lsmod |grep -e nvidia -e nouveau;cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf", I have this result:
Code:

My F18 seem work well with nvidia drivers, but why can I see "nouveau" in output of the command ?

Re: NVIDIA driver issue?
You probably have nouveau being loaded in your initramfs and it needs to be rebuilt after you blacklist the nouveau module.
Code:
su -
(root password)
cp /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).bak
dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

This is what finally worked for me, thank you. I had regenerated the initramfs a few times and had ensured that nouveau was blacklisted. It was not until I ran the akmods --force that the nvidia driver worked for me.
Cheers!

I don't know if it's important but
Code:
[dominique@dominique ~]$ glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.042 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.829 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.828 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.829 FPS
^C
[dominique@dominique ~]$
It's very small, with my F17 and driver nvidia I have a better result
==EDIT==
I also do "akmods --force" for same result

What about
Code:
glxinfo | grep opengl
?
Vendor string should be Nvidia, not nouveau.

This command return nothing, the good command is glxinfo | grep OpenGL
Code:
[dominique@dominique ~]$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 525M/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 4.2.0 NVIDIA 304.60
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.20 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
OpenGL extensions:

Drivers nvidia are loaded and active, I don't know why I see nouveau in "lsmod |grep -e nvidia -e nouveau"...

That solve problem for the session :
Code:
[dominique@dominique ~]$ lsmod |grep -e nvidia -e nouveau
nvidia 11275293 51
i2c_core 38314 6 drm,i2c_i801,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,nvidia,videodev
[dominique@dominique ~]$
But after reboot, nouveau appear...
Code:
[dominique@dominique ~]$ lsmod |grep -e nvidia -e nouveau
nvidia 11275293 51
nouveau 890739 0
mxm_wmi 12823 1 nouveau
i2c_algo_bit 13257 1 nouveau
drm_kms_helper 44701 1 nouveau
ttm 79760 1 nouveau
drm 255010 3 ttm,drm_kms_helper,nouveau
i2c_core 38314 7 drm,i2c_i801,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,nvidia,nouveau,videodev
video 18936 1 nouveau
wmi 18697 2 mxm_wmi,nouveau
But it's not a big problem, my F18 work fine anyway.

Re: NVIDIA driver issue?
I have a similar problem after updating the kernel.
Nouveau is blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d, again in the grub kernel line, I have removed the nouveau package, and I rebuild initramfs with dracut. Yet it still appears! Mind boggling!
Booting older 3.6.0-1 kernel works fine, but the 3.6.2-2 and 3.6.5-2 kernels I have are nouveau fanatics.
I have not tried to rmmod, a little embarrassed I didn't think of that...

There seems to be only one way to block nouveau
Code:
dracut -f -v --omit-drivers nouveau /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

Re: NVIDIA driver issue?
I upgraded yesterday to F18 (yum) and obviously was faced with this issue.
nouveau is loaded regardless of the blacklist and I could only get to the desktop with 'nomodeset' in the boot line.
I will try copying blacklist-nouveau.conf to /lib/modprobe.d as per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873220
---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------
Didn't work. Must go with the dracut command, then.
Ops, I misunderstood it. We must edit /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90kernel-modules/parse-kernel.sh, it seems.
---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------
I rebuilt initramfs omitting nouveau and, apart from the pending dracut bug, all is well.
Note that just with 'nomodeset' and nouveau loading (mixed with nvidia) that was crashing thunar, tumbler and other Xfce components so it's a must to run the command Yellowman provided.
