Re: Nvidia driver

Hi,
I followed the instruction at the resources website:
$yum install kmod-nvidia
nothing else was specified. I saw that there were kernel updates, so I guess
some of it was kernel dependent.
But I did not really know in detail what else to look for, so the rest went past me. There was a recommendation to restart the machine in the event of kernel updates, so I looked for that. > You may also have to install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs from the livna > site. There was no mention of that in the article at the ../resource/.. site - but I guess I cound yum intstall them ..

Hi:
Did yum install both the kmod-nvidia drivers? One is nvidia GP dependent and the other kernel dependent (look at http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/9/i386/). You may also have to install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs from the livna site.

            Hi:
            I also experienced the same problem, so I switched over to
            SUN Java. I did this as per instructions given at
             http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f9.html#java.

    My PC is only 2-3 weeks old in my possesion and this is my first
    encounter with Fedora 9.
    (Earlier I was running Fedora Core 5)
    The only screen resolution option I have now is 640x488, and I
    would like to change that.
    So I took a look at the ../resources/.. site, where I found
    instructions for downloading Nvidia-driver:

    $yum install kmod-nvidia , nvidia installation through Livna.

    Installation went OK , and I did reboot the PC as recommended,
    but no change, and the PC does not identify the LCD. It is
    "unknown" to it.
    It is configured as Vesa, which I guess is the best option when
    nothing else is known. But I saw a message flashing over the
    screen on bootup stating something about
    the Nvidia driver - it would not take effect until.... something I
    did not manage to read before it vanished.
    Does anyone know what I should be looking for? (I did demsg, but
    no trace of the message there)
