I recently switched from my old CRT screen to a nice 19" LCD. I am using
the proprietary nvidia driver downloaded from the nvidia site and not
the kmod driver.(NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run).
Did you install something (kmod/akmod) about nvidia from fedora? You
have, maybe, a: "livna display Config" in System>Adm
Go there and untick: Allow livna-config-display to edit configuration
file.
Best is to install akmod, it will compile automatically your nvidia
driver everytime you need it when your kernel is updated
No, I don't have the kmod driver installed. I also remember reading
somewhere that having both the kmod and proprietary nvidia driver
installed simultaneously could cause problems.
When I use "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run --uninstall" from
command line and remove the nvidia driver, X-windows does not start at
all until I re-install the nvidia driver again, which I did to see if
this would resolve the issue.
What would be the safest method to uninstall the nvidia driver and
switch to kmod? Use yum to install kmod, and then init 3 to command line
and remove the proprietary nvidia driver?
I would do:
1- switch to init 3 (]# init 3)
2- install akmod-nvidia (]# yum install akmod-nvidia)
This should install akmod-nvidia, kmod-nvidia, xorg-x11-drv-nvidia,
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs
3- switch to init 5 (]# init 5)
This will install the nvidia module for your kernel.
If you need to have your own xorg.conf file you must disable
livna-config-display, to prevent it to write a new xorg.conf file,
erasing the one you prepared...
*sigh*...I keep forgetting that sometimes clicking on reply sends it the
the respondent and not directly to the list....here's the forward...
I know why: you have set "reply to" in your mail config, doing so, when
I reply to your mail to the list, a mail is sent directly to you...
Good luck.
