For the sake of clarity I changed the subject and summarised my progresses (thanks to Richard). 0. Under F13 x86_64, I'm trying to obtain a functioning graphical environment on a Sony Vaio laptop F-Series mounting a nvidia geforce 330M. 1. I have blacklisted the nouveau drivers by adding rdblacklist=nouveau to the kernel parameters (I was doing it manually at boot time, but I have now actually modified the file /boot/grub/grub.conf 2. I have installed the nvidia drivers from RPMFusion (yes they are the nvidia ones and I see the nvidia logo on graphical start) and by modifying the xorg.conf file as outlined in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/565382 I am now able to do a graphical boot and see the whole screen, although everything looks incredibly "big" for a 1920x1080 screen resolution (font size 10 looks oddly big) There are still the following "open" points (in reverse-order of importance): 1. I don't like that the startup is now text-only until when the graphical drivers load. Is there a way to obtain the old graphical boot without the nouveau drivers? 2. Although I can certainly live with that, it doesn't seem "elegant"to me :) to have to specify a blacklisted driver at boot in order for the system to work properly. Question: how can the next kernel update realise that the nouveau drivers must be removed? Because of the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf or because I have blacklisted them in the kernel parameters at boot time (i.e. in /boot/grub/grub.conf ) 3. At boot time I get the following error: Enabling the nvidia driver: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 526: NNNN Segmentation fault "$@" [FAILED] where NNNN is a 4 random digits. Nevertheless, the nvidia drivers seem to load (I see the nvidia logo) and work (3d works: desktop effects, opengl screensavers...). Any idea about what is causing this boot error and how I can fix it?
