From the lsmod and Xorg it looks like nouveau is being loaded, and nvidia is not. If Lawrence has network access in text only mode I would suggest as root: yum reinstall xorg-x11-drv-nvidia nvidia-settings akmod-nvidia kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs nvidia-xconfig (All one line) If that doesn't help or there's no net access then (again as root), first line is moving the file to a backup with today's date: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup-20111202 nvidia-config-display echo blacklist nouveau >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) This (in order), moves your current Xorg configuration to a backup file, uses nvidia-config-display to create a new one, tells the system not to use the nouveau driver (you'll need to undo this if you ever want to use nouveau) and creates a new initrd with nouveau excluded. Let us know how you get on. -- imalone -- 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 Have a question?
