Hi Matthew,
I think I discovered why this has been occurring. livna-config-display,
the new library developed to edit various configuration files keeps a
status file in /etc/sysconfig/livna-config-display that it uses to
"remember" various things such as the driver to restore on shutdown and
your glx configuration (Xgl, AIGLX, None or manual).
We don't have a script to auto-generate this file, so if the driver is
disabled before livna-config-display is installed it never gets saved
properly and that's why the error shows up when trying to enable...
Can you try placing the following text
into /etc/sysconfig/livna-config-display:
[Configuration]
active = True
olddriver = nv
preconfigured = aiglx
[ManualOptions]
composite = True
gdmxgl = False
aiglxflag = True
compsite = True
kdmxgl = False
If the errors stop then it confirms my thoughts.
It appears I already had /etc/sysconfig/livna-config-display, containing:
[Configuration]
active = True
olddriver = nv
preconfigured = aiglx
[ManualOptions]
composite = True
aiglxflag = True
kdmxgl = False
gdmxgl = False
I removed the livna-config-display rpm and re-installed
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia. That pulled in livna-config-display and kmod-nvidia.
After a few tries, I finally got yum to download all three RPMs
successfully. When xorg-x11-drv-nvidia installed (last in sequence), I
got the above error messages again, but the installation completed and rpm
-qV verified all three RPMs. On reboot, the NVidia driver loaded and (so
far) appears to be functioning.
Thanks,
Stewart
