Then I guess either your initramfs still has the nouveau driver (which will cause problems with NVIDIA), or it doesn't but you have the rhgb kernel option (which is fine). Unless I'm mistaken, plymouth will use KMS by default if it has support for it in the nouveau driver. If it doesn't have that, then it will fall back to text mode, however you can still get a pretty splash if you pass the rhgb option to the kernel. This is what my kernel line has, which gives me a lower-res but still pretty splash screen without KMS or nouveau: nomodeset rhgb quiet vga=0x369 nouveau.modeset=0 rdblacklist=nouveau So, if you're getting a pretty splash but you aren't passing similar options as above, then your initramfs probably still has nouveau. > Yes, I removed it.

Well all I can suggest is that you boot to say, run level 3, check that nvidia is loaded, check that nouveau is NOT loaded, check that your xorg.conf file is correctly set to use the nvidia driver. If that's all good but X still doesn't load, read your /var/log/Xorg.0.log log file to see what X is actually trying to do. >From my experience, if you remove your xorg.conf file, install the akmod-nvidia package and libraries (as per previous post), then NVIDIA is pretty solid. -c -- 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
