I managed to get Rawhide to install by substituting a
five year old Nvidia 6600 for the 1 1/2 year old 9600GT
normally fitted to my office machine.
Unlike the ATI Linux driver .run file, the Nvidia .run
file (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2.run) does
not crash leaving Linux inoperable. It just fails
apparently because some other driver is hogging
the video hardware. This is after a fresh boot to
runlevel 3.
Without Compiz, a quieted GPU fan, and the ability
to run Flightgear and other cool stuff, Rawhide's
Fit and Finish leaves an awful lot to be desired.
Is there a way to get the Nvidia driver to install
in Rawhide? Is there a way to get Rawhide to coexist
with a 1 1/2 year old mainstream GPU (9600GT)?
