I followed the instructions located here: http://fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/nvidia-yum-kmod In addition to the other things on that page that apply to Fedora 13, followed this instruction: 5. To use the default initrd, but disable the nouveau driver, edit /etc/grub.conf and add the following to the end of the line(s) starting with 'kernel': rdblacklist=nouveau So, every time I have tried to reboot unsuccessfully with the NVidia driver enabled, I have had rdblacklist=nouveau on the appropriate kernel line in grub.conf. Interestingly, the page that I got the instructions from has been changed. It used to say: rdblacklist=nouveau now it says: rdblacklist=nouveau nomodeset Doesn't make any difference, though. I already tried that and it did not work for me. But I will try again just for kicks... A little more detail about what happens after I enable the NVidia driver. 1. Reboot the computer. 2. The computer appears to boot successfully. Every line in the boot messages that has anything to do with NVidia has a nice green [OK] by it. 3. Boot appears to finish, and the screen goes black. 4. Then the signal is stopped from reaching the monitor, and the monitor pops up a little message about there being no signal. 5. The normally white power button changes to the customary tannish color that appears when there is no signal. 6. Then I can do nothing. "Ctrl | Alt | F2" does nothing, so I can't follow any of the trouble shooting steps in the instructions that I posted the link to above... 7. Then I have to press the Reset button to reboot the computer. So, I'm going to try all of this again, and maybe also try something I haven't done before... We'll see what happens. Steven P.
