Hi all I have now succeeded in installing the nvidia driver and have used Richard Shaw's trick to stop nouveau loading (add rdblacklist=nouveau to the kernel parameters in grub.conf). The result is that the graphical boot (plymouth) is replaced by a plain progress bar but once that is finished the nvidia driver works as intended. Thanks for the various bits of advice -- N James Bridge <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
