Hello List, Why do Nvidia binary drivers work on RHEL 5.5 but not with Fedora 13? The binary driver is practically a drop-in replacement for existing drivers in RHEL. However, in Fedora, there is all sorts of breakage, workarounds, and kmods. Mailing lists (including this one) are littered with reports of "broken displays" or black screens. Some of the online guides are flat-out embarassing. (to get this driver, make a new initrd...edit grub...install kmod-nvidia...or akmod-nvidia...remove extra input lines in xorg.conf) All that just for 3d acceleration?!?!? Is the binary breakage because Fedora is pushing nouveau and truly open-source video drivers? Is there intentional breakage somewhere to discourage the use of binary drivers? Or has Fedora evolved so much that new features are causing breakage? It has to be asked given how well the binary drivers work with RHEL. -RN -- 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
