The driver selection heuristic is the open source native driver for the hardware, if it exists, followed by vesa. Changing this (ie, to force vesa, or to use a closed driver) requires writing a config file. % system-config-display --noui --set-driver=nvidia Will write a standard minimal config with the driver set to 'nvidia'. - ajax -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
