I usually install Fedora with the standard Nouveau driver and Ubuntu
with it's video driver - get the whole system functioning then install
nvidia if and when required.
That process has never failed me.

Hi, all,
I got a HP env 5306tx laptop with dual GPUs, and I faild to install driver for it.
I have tried official driver, rpmfusion, bumblebee, all failed.
My dist is fc18-i386, with security boot disabled and legacy boot enabled.
What is bothering me is that nvidia driver leave the screen blackout.
When I reboot, I can dimly recognize a fedora logo in the center of screen, which is nearly blackout. So I cannot enter the system, and nothing changes after I add 3 at the end of grub command(and remove all these kernel options) or press ctrl-alt-fn.
My questions is:
* Why nvidia driver affects run level 3 and TTY?
* How to enter system and remove installed drivers?
Another non-related question is TTY is not working properly before I install nvidia driver. If I boot in runlevel3, and I enter TTY2 before login, the screen will flash between tty1 and tty2, or stick in tty2(cannot switch to other TTYs). I don't know it is a hardware problem or software problem.
Any advice will be appreciated.
