The recent thread on nVidia with FC3 caught my eye, as I am having trouble installing drivers.... but my problem is with nforce sound and net drivers (NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0301.pkg1.run). Originally I had sound with the driver (nv) supplied with FC3, but only one channel. Wanting to improve that, I attempted to install the drivers. After researching everything I could find and carefully following release note instructions... -I have two reported audio devices... but I think one is spurious. -I have sound on one of them, but only on one channel; but no 'system' sounds. -I installed both the audio and network drivers, but the original network driver (forcedeth) is operational, despite the changes to various config files, etc. What I would like to do is either resolve this or return to default conditions, but I have come to the limit of my understanding. I am including here pertinent information from various logs, etc. This is the modprobe.conf file with changes made: --- snip ---- #alias eth0 forcedeth #alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias eth0 nvnet alias snd-card-0 nvsound options snd-card-0 index=0 install nvsound /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install nvsound ; sleep 1; /usr/bin/nvmix-reg -f /etc/nvmixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove nvsound { /usr/bin/nvmix-reg -f /etc/nvmixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove nvsound #install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : #remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd ---- end snip ---- this is /etc/rc.local as changed according to instructions --- snip --- #!/bin/sh # # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts. # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff. touch /var/lock/subsys/local # Added for nVidia driver installation (sound) /usr/bin/nvmix-reg -f /etc/nvmixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 ---- end snip ---- this is a portion of /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt as changed: --- snip --- # /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt (portion) # Save mixer settings, here for lack of a better place. # Modified here 17Apr05 by wrg for installation of nVidia drivers # original values follow; commented out #grep -q "\(alsa\)" /proc/devices #if [ $? = 0 -a -x /usr/sbin/alsactl ]; then # runcmd $"Saving mixer settings" alsactl store #fi # New Values follow: if grep -q "\(nvsound\)" /proc/modules && [ -x /usr/bin/nvmix-reg ]; then /usr/bin/nvmix-reg -f /etc/nvmixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 fi # End of Modification for installation of nVidia drivers --- end snip --- here is a portion of dmesg that shows the kernel initialization for these objects.
