How Long Can You Live With End Of Stage Kidneys

[Fedora] kmod-nvidia drivers do not go! Here's how to solve!

Ho provato a installare il pacchetto "kmod-nvidia" dopo "akmod-nvidia" e al riavvio del pc, il pc non parte... come risolvere? Ecco qua:

Solution / Answer:

Install the rpmfusion repo and the akmod-nvidia drivers

Install rpmfusion repo

Free rpmfusion Repo:

   # rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm   

Non-Free rpmfusion Repo:

   # rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm    

Install akmod-nvidia

Install the akmod-nvidia package:

   # yum install akmod-nvidia   

Force akmod to build kmod-nvidia driver:

   # service akmods restart   

Reboot System:

   # shutdown -r now   

Check that kmod-nvidia is installed:

   # rpm -qa kmod-nvidia\* 
kmod-nvidia-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64-185.18.14-1.fc11.x86_64

Verify Kernel Module is functioning:

   # glxinfo   GL_EXT_depth_bounds_test, GL_EXT_direct_state_access, 

Create nvidia Xorg file:

 # nvidia-xconfig      

Disable Nouveau driver

Check that the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf exists

If not create it:

 # vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf      

Add:

 #RPM Fusion blacklist for nouveau driver - you need to run as root:  # mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) 
# if nouveau is loaded despite this file
blacklist nouveau

Create new initrd. On the command line type:

 # mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)      

Reboot System:

 # shutdown -r now      

Configure Nvidia Display Settings:

Main Menu in Fedora 11

Applications > System Tools > nVidia Display Settings

Ho testato sia su Fedora 11 e Fedora 12! Attenzione con il comando "mkinitrd", io nel mio file ho trovato un altro comando e quindi non ho usato mdinitrd!
