Fedora Users — Re: Nvidia driver

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. You may test the status of your browser with http://webapps.ou.edu/it/browser.

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)
