Ideally you'd go with nouveau since that's what's supported natively with Fedora, but it may still have issues with your hardware or may not offer some features (e.g. 3D acceleration). I'd suggest booting your system using a live CD (which will use nouveau) and see how it behaves. If it's OK, then simply comment out your blacklist stuff and rebuild grub to go back to nouveau. > As best as I can determine, the file in which those GRUB_ lines appear > is merely a text file read by "grub2-mkconfig" and/or "grub2-install" to > make scripts used early in the boot process.

I'm not 100% sure if that script is integrated into the actual grub.cfg file or if it's actually read early in the boot process to override what grub.cfg does. The important thing is that the variables are defined before they're used, just like any bash script. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Huked on foniks reely wurked for me! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
