errors on trying to install latest nvidia driver with F12

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

 



I am hoping someone may be able to throw some light on this.

I had (and now have restored) F12 (x86_64) working with the nouveau
driver. I have been watching for the nvidia drivers to make it into the
RPMfusion repo and they have now done so  and last night I installed the
173 legacy driver (as required for my ancient graphics card!) Result -
plymouth intro followed by black screen. I rebooted into level 3 and
uninstalled the nvidia drivers and tried again - same result. Following
advice I got here previously, I rebooted to level 3, deleted xorg.conf
and then ran startx, which worked. However, on closing, I got a string
of error messages and then on booting up, the black screen again.

Finally, I repeated the above and from the gui (GNOME) made a new user.
Since then things have worked normally. Why? It seems more like black
magic than IT.

I have attached the error log and the default xorg.conf file, for expert
perusal. It doesn't mean a whole lot to me.

thanks in advance for any comments
