Black Screen / Crashes after rpmfusion nVidia ver 260.19.36

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm running the binary nVidia driver from rpmfusion.org. It has worked
well historically, but the latest update (Feb 13, 2011) seems to have
broken things.

I recently updated from a fully functional 260.19.29 installation to
260.19.36. Now, things don't work. Using an nVidia GeForce GT 220
card, I get a black
screen (and system crash) when X starts. Using a GeForce 8400 GS (in
the same system) is a little better: X runs for a few minutes (2-18,
depending on how
lucky I am) until the whole system locks up. When I say crash or
locked up, I mean it; I can't log in via ssh, and existing ssh
sessions hang.

Details:
* Fully patched (as of Feb 13, 2011) Fedora 14 system
* Worked fine until "yum update" of 260.19.36 nvidia code
* i7-950 CPU on Asus P6T Deluxe motherboard. 12 GB RAM.
* Normally use a GeForce GT 220 card, but I have an old 8400 GS which
I can use for testing.

As part of my troubleshooting steps, I "yum remove"ed all of the
\*nvidia\* packages. Then, reinstalled them. I'm getting the same
problem.

I've got all the details here:
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1630  I'm not sure what
is the most appropriate place to post this issue.

This list is the first place I looked to see if anyone else is having
this problem. I'm hoping that I can save someone else some
frustration!

Thanks,

MJ
