I just tried the installation method here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=234595 It made no difference. I still get the error messages in the orange triangle at the login screen Step 13 for this method is as follows: 13. $ cd /etc/X11 && vi xorg.conf Add the following lines to the "Files" section: ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" Would I need to modify anything there before uninstalling the nvidia and proceeding with Kmod? I assume this is the correct procedure for kmod: http://fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/nvidia-yum-kmod -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
