-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I am running fedora 17 on a Macbook Pro 6,2 with an integrated intel and a nvidia graphic card, lspci -v | grep VGA gives: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 330M] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Unfortunately, there are two issues which the open source driver nouveau: 1. The laptop does not resume from suspend to ram after having been connected to an external monitor, this is bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=858798 2. I intend to work with Nvidias CUDA framework and therefore have to use their driver :( I tried to use both the nvidia-graphics.x86_64e kmod-nvidia* package from rpmfusion repo and the nvidia-graphics package from the atrpms repo. Using standard boot options, the boot process seems to hang just before gdm is started. Adding the kernel option nomodeset, the monitor gets dark after the boot process and after having connected a 2nd monitor I realized that actually the laptop monitor light was completely switched off. Is there any possibility to switch it on during the boot process? Any ideas or experience how to get the Nvidia driver running? Of course, any pointers or hints are very much appreciated! Best, Andre
Hi: I've no Mac experience and currently run f16 but here are a few comments.
The rpmfusion and atrpms packages are generally believed incompatible. If you try one, remove all traces of the other - lib packages too.
I use ATrpms; the nvidia-graphics package should pull in nvidia-graphics-helpers, nvidia-graphics302.17, a kmdl and a libs package, and maybe nvidia-graphics-devices too.
I don't think the nomodeset kernel option has been needed for some time, although it probably gets set automatically.
You may need to run, as root, /usr/sbin/nvidia-graphics-switch.
