Hi Christoph! First I want to say thank you for th e advise to use "nofb". That machine now runs fedora without problems. Even X configured itself completly automatically - something I've never seen before.

Ok, the thing with text mode installation (at least on that machine): 1. It doesn't allow to choose packages individually. 2. It always crashed on the second disk. What's the reason for using "fb" at the installation? Is it considered a bug (should I add it to bugzilla) if my system only installs with "nofb"? > #wget > http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4496/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run > # export CC=gcc32 > #./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run > # XFree -configure > Edit the new XF86config for your needs. > Be happy. :-) > > I think the problem is your TFT, not the graphics card , but i cannot That's what I did on the other machine (with the DFP), not with fedora but back then with 8.0 or so. I upgraded that machine to fedora already by upgrading the packages by hand. The issue here seems to be that the "nv" driver doesn't work with the digital out (and as I understand bugzilla won't until nvidia gives the needed information to the XFree86 developers - so probably it will never work). That was the reason for my question / proposal: That the binary nvidia-drivers should be available sometime during the installation. -- Niels Weber <nath@xxxxxxxx>
