Re: Re: How to Install Nvidia Driver in Fedora12?

In order to keep compatibility with nouveau, you either need to recreate the initrd manually after the driver has been installed, or add a command line option to the kernel. To recreate the initrd:

su - 
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

To use the default initrd, but disable the nouveau driver, edit /etc/grub.conf and add the following to the end of the line(s) starting with 'kernel':

  rdblacklist=nouveau

Before using the driver, you need to lower your system protection so SElinux doesn't prevent the driver to load.

setsebool -P allow_execstack on

My classmate has bought a computer with GT220.
When I download Nvidia Driver,use init 3 to run it.
but it prompt that cannot find nvidia.ko..
I have searched Google,and changed menu.lst,added nouveau.modeset=>
This time,I have install Nvidia Driver success,but when I reboot,I can't
login it,it's blank screen.
I have try many times,I found,when I use init 3,and run rmmod nouveau,then I
can use startx login to Gnome.

But it's too troublesome,I want to know how to do,then I can turn on the
computer and direct into Gnome...
    

In my experience, the only instructions that work are here, at
rpmfusion, who provides the kernel module:
