It seems pretty straightforwward, but so did it with akmod and it didn't work, maybe because I have a newer video card than most people who suggested using akmod. And maybe that's the problem the people at RPMfusion are dealing with: certain cards might not play nice with the new kernel. (For sure, by this time, they should have issued a communiqué. This really is a piss off!) I have no idea but, you know, when you're not an experienced user, any little detail that you didn't get right, is apt to send you into a nightmare that you feel you'll never get out of. That's why people like me prefer the most standard solutions that let people with more knowledge deal with the problems. I did save your file, though. If RPMfusion stops providing kmod, I'll certainly give it a try before reverting to Nouveau. Maybe other people here will agree with you that DKMS is more convenient than akmod, give it a try and ask RPMfusion to change its way of doing things. Certainly, I must thank you for merely bringing to my attention the existence of DKMS. I'm eager to see the comments you will receive from more learned people. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
