I tried this procedure, with the same result as Bidski had described.
I had now a chat with Nvidia Support. They gave me a link:
http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/132/kw/how%20to%20install%20linux%20drivers
So far I don't know, if this is helpful, anyway I will read and try.
Kind regards

How to manually install NVIDIA graphics driver using yum or dnf (I prefer dnf so I will use that) #dnf clean all #dnf update #dnf install gcc kernel-devel dkms download NVIDIA driver from nvidia.com and cd to the download directory #chmod +x NVIDIA-XXX.run (the NVIDIA driver, for instance NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-343.13.run) #vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and insert a line with text "blacklist nouveau" (without quotes) #vi /etc/sysconfig/grub and insert this text "rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau" (without quotes) and the end of the line beginning with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= making sure the text is inside the last quotation mark #grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg #dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.x86x_64 (this is 64bit driver - if you have a 32bit operating system it will be 32bit driver) #reboot When you are in grub and the and your operating system kernel is highlighted as the one you are booting to press the "e" on the keyboard to edit the line Then at the end of this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= still inside the ending quotes insert this text "init 3" (without quotes) press F10 to reboot you should then come to a command prompt where you log on as a root user cd to the download directory where the NVIDIA driver located #./NVIDIA-XXX.run (for instance ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-343.13.run) The NVIDIA installer will start Accept the license agreement Install 32 bit compatibility (if you are on a 64bit machine) Choose to automatically update nvidia-xconfig-utility reboot and log into graphical mode or from command line using root init 5 Hope this helps Reynold On 11/10/2014 11:49 PM, Bidski wrote: > > Hi, > > Can you instruct me in how you installed the nVidia drivers? > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: > "Joerg Lechner" <julechner@xxxxxxx> > > To: > <bidski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, <test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: > > Sent: > Tue, 11 Nov 2014 02:18:35 -0500 > Subject: > Re: F21 Installation Issues - Installation destination partitioning > > > Hi, > on my laptop there is a Nvidia Geforce 840M (Acer Aspire E15, E5 > 571G).
