If you uninstalled the nvidia packages and the display isn't using the full HD resolution as before, chances are the changes in grub.cfg weren't reverted, so check that file and remove these bit: nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:off If you decide to try the nvidia driver again and it still doesn't work, after you boot post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log to http://fpaste.org and post a link to it here; or you can use this command: fpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log -- Ahmad Samir -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
