Yeah.. uh.. I uh might have to ask you to send me this hardware for testing. Yeah, that's it... testing... you know.. to make sure it works :-P
I run a few boxes on KVM switch and they all run fine on 1600x1200. Centos 4 never had a problem
Right, and it should continue to work fine, but sometimes KVM's mess with the real hardware detection, so the system will get confused and put you at a lower resolution.
I've just installed kernel-devel and still same thing. I've got gcc. ;(
Does the kernel-devel version match the kernel you're currently running? Look at the output from 'rpm -q kernel-devel', and match the version and release numbers against the output of 'uname -r'. If the two are different, that's why the nvidia installer is bitching. Usually this is caused by not rebooting after a kernel update. Someone around here suggested ATrpms, which has been known to cause some problems with people's systems. RPMForge has the nvidia packages as well, and I'd recommend them over ATrpms for stability and generall packaging sanity. That and Dag (and Dries too) have been known to frequent our mailing lists and developer channels. I've never once seen Axel (from ATrpms) offer assistance on the list or stop by irc to see if everything's kosher. You might also want to try a 'system-config-display --reconfigure' from a console and see if you can't tell it just exactly what you've got and what settings you want to use. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
