Most probably the kmod-nvidia for the 2.6.42.3 kernel is a bit late. I advise to boot into the latest kernel, do a "yum update kmod-nvidia" in the prompt, and see if it gets pulled in. If yes, it should start working with the new kernel. If not, wait a couple of days and retry. While you wait for rpmfusion devs to produce the latest kmod, use whatever kernel works, at whatever resolution works... :-) HTH, :-) Marko -- 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?
