I finally gave up and went with radeon. The open source radeon driver has been rock solid for me, and meets my simple needs. AMD / ATI released the specs for the radeons, unlike nvidia, where the devs are reverse engineering the nouveau driver. Here's the nouveau bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=918732 A thought, did you fully remove the nouveau driver before using the nvidia binary blob? They don't play well together, and it can cause problems. Did you use the akmod / kmod from rpmfusion to install the nvidia drivers? Finally, I think I've seen something about nvidia not having their binary blob modified to deal with the changed X api in f23. That could be the source of your problem with the binary blob. -- 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?
