Hi,
I installed "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run" today.
The driver does not load upon reboot which leads to X failing.
I noticed the following line in my modprobe.conf file:
================ modprobe.conf snippet =========================
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
alias char-major-195* nvidia
================================================================
After running "modprobe nvidia" manually everything works. However,
next time I boot up it is gone again.
Does anyone know the magic trick here?
Thanks,
Ernesto
What I do is edit /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
where it says other="" I put other="nvidia" works for me,
also, if you are going to do that, you will need to either remove the
rhgb from the grub menu, or make a copy of your xorg.conf and copy it to
/etc/rhgb/xorg.conf and replace the area where it says nvidia with nv ,
this will allow for fedora graphics on boot, and will still use the
nvidia module for gdm and x.
