NVidia/Gnome Manager issues

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Good morning list readers -

I recently upgraded a users workstation from Fedora 17 to Fedora 19 and
ever since that upgrade, we have been experiencing issues with the
gnome-manager. This is a Dell T7600 with a NVidia Quadro 600 (GF108GL)
and it was running quite well with Fedora 17, but the user insisted on
an upgrade, so being customer service oriented , we obliged. However,
now when I boot the workstation and it goes to launch gnome-manager it
tries to start, and flickers a few times between a black screen and what
looks like some system messages ... eventuall, though not all the time,
I will finally get the login window with the Fedora logo.

One of my questions is, is it better to use the NVidia drivers from
NVidia (eg NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.49.run I believe these are the latest
for this card) or use the kmod/akmod and related nvidia packages from
rpmfusion? And would having the latter packages on the machine cause any
conflicts? Sorry for what might appear to be rather silly questions, but
I am more a command-line guy, and when running into X issues, debugging
is rather difficult at times. 

Thank you in advance
Michael
