Somebody on another thread clued me into doing first downloading an rpm to add livna to my repos, running rpm -ivh livna-release-8.rpm or -9.rpm respectively, and then doing yum install kmod-nvidia. That helped a lot. I now have two F9 PCs and an F8 PC giving acceptable if not optimal displays. The F8, unfortunately, is my #1 (newest, fastest) machine. I had installed F8 over F9 already once, over the anaconda bug -- and, apparently, somehow gotten an unclean install. I tried another fresh install of F9, and failed again, the second time over this display issue. I did the third fresh install of F8, did the livna bit, and re-re- copied my data back in. Now I'm wondering if I dare try yet a third upgrade to F9 -- before there's a re-spin to do it with. Anybody know for sure if an upgrade F8 > F9 will keep all the livna-nvidia settings?? Or even a way a subtechnoid can use to make #1 identify its video card for me? (The machine was built for me, to my budget, by an electronic friend; but I haven't found a way to ask it what video card it has, and I hate to ask him to dig through his records (if any) to find out.) -- Beartooth Subtechnoid, PhD, Neo-Redneck Power User Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 1.10, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; nine (count 'em -- nine) different browsers Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
