I never have been able to get Fedora 13 to work. There is something about the recent kernels; I can't get it to work at anywhere near the resolution it is capable of with either nouveau or the Nvidia proprietary driver. I did get Fedora 12 to work. It was a convoluted process. The installer worked OK using an external monitor. I never could get X to boot properly after that under nouveau, with either the LCD display or the external monitor. I got a blank screen on the LCD and a warning from the monitor that this timing could not be displayed. So what I ended up doing was booting non-graphically, installing the Nvidia driver, then starting X. With a bit of fiddling with nvidia-settings, I am *finally* able to use X at the full LCD resolution (1440x990). Using F12 instead of F13 is an acceptable workaround for now, but of course sooner or later I will need to move forward. I may actually give the F14 beta a try just to see if it will work. Does anyone know what it is about the recent kernels? nouveau won't work post-install even with "nomodeset", and the Nvidia driver will install but fails to initialize the chip when X is started (I just get an error to that effect in Xorg.0.log). --Greg -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
