Fedora Users — Re: Re: How to Install Nvidia Driver in Fedora12?

in your grub.conf add

In order to keep compatibility with nouveau, you either need to recreate the initrd manually after the driver has been installed, or add a command line option to the kernel. To recreate the initrd:

su - 
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

To use the default initrd, but disable the nouveau driver, edit /etc/grub.conf and add the following to the end of the line(s) starting with 'kernel':

  rdblacklist=nouveau

Before using the driver, you need to lower your system protection so SElinux doesn't prevent the driver to load.

setsebool -P allow_execstack on

When I download Nvidia Driver,use init 3 to run it.
but it prompt that cannot find nvidia.ko..
I have searched Google,and changed menu.lst,added nouveau.modeset=>
This time,I have install Nvidia Driver success,but when I reboot,I can't
login it,it's blank screen.
I have try many times,I found,when I use init 3,and run rmmod nouveau,then I
can use startx login to Gnome.

But it's too troublesome,I want to know how to do,then I can turn on the
computer and direct into Gnome...

In my experience, the only instructions that work are here, at
rpmfusion, who provides the kernel module:
