See attached. > It looks like nouveau is still being loaded. If you can post the /etc/X11/xorg.org file and /var/log/Xorg.0.log that might help pin down the cause. However, I think I missed out a necessary option for the dracut command, try (again don't type the # they just indicate separate lines run as root): # mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img.bak # dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) (For the record: I meant to suggest dracut -f which would force overwrite of the existing initramfs file, however it's probably safer to move it to a backup as in the two lines above.) Sorry this is taking so much back-and-forth, I've been on your end of this kind of thing and I know it's frustrating. -- 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?
