I downloaded drivers from nvidia.com with instructions on how to install but I am unable to find out how to change runlevel in order to install these drivers. I am running a i7 950 processor with 6g of Hyperx memory 1333.On 14 December 2011 17:09, Robert Moskowitz <rgm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:On 12/14/2011 11:18 AM, Lawrence Graves wrote: I am writing this because I am beginning to get frustrated with Fedora 16. I am on the verge of going back to Fedora 15 so I can have some peace of mind. There was a time up until now that after a RC release it would settle down and run nice but with this Release that is not the case. I am not giving up on Fedora as a whole but when you can't make anything run without freezing screens and nvidia drivers won't install it becomes frustrating. Maybe I made a lot of changes at once, from a HP nc2400 with f14 to a Lenovo x120e with f16. I have not noticed any slowdowns even though the HP was a duo core and the Lenovo is single. So I would put the suspect on the nvidia cruft. And nvidia for some reason has been a long time sore spot with Fedora.Just a data-point to the other side: I'm running nvidia happily on one machine. Occasional gnome pauses, but they also affect my other (non-nvidia) computer. Adding more RAM seemed to help a bit (now at 3GB, previously 1.5GB), do hope this gets attention in future releases.
