Hi all, I'm well aware of the whole situation regarding xorg and official Nvidia drivers. My current problem lies with the "nv" driver that is the preferred open source nvidia driver for Fedora. I had to install using the resolution=1680x1050 argument with anaconda, otherwise I'd just get a blank screen. After install I can make it to the first boot screen where it asks to set up the time etc... but after I click next on the smolt page, I get a blank screen (I'm assuming this is when it's firing up GDM). To work around this, I booted the recovery console and switched the driver in xorg.conf from "nv" to "vesa". The vesa driver allows me to boot into Fedora and go about my business, but it is painfully slow when trying to watch video, so I'd like to get the nv driver working if at all possible. I believe that I am getting the "out of sync" error that so many people have been complaining about, however my monitor doesn't explicitly complain. Rather it just goes blank. My current setup worked great in F8. Here is my current xorg.conf: # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # keyboard added by rhpxl Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "Samsung SyncMaster 226BW (Digital)" HorizSync 30.0 - 81.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vesa" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1680x1050" "1600x1024" "1440x900" "1400x1050" "1360x768" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection My hardware is as follows: ASUS p5k MB 4 GB ram Intel Core Duo 3ghz EVGA nvidia 8800 GTS video card Samsung SyncMaster 226BBW For what it's worth, I tried the generic LCD profile in the display app in gnome and that didn't fix anything.. I also tried setting my card to nvidia in that app as well, but that just recreates the problem. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
