Has anyone had a total failure to run kmod-nvidia with an 8300 GS graphics card in f11? My system (http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_0461ec99-2d05-44bf-ac48-1a0d78a17c52) used to run with the kmod-nvidia-PAE installed from rpmfusion just fine in f10 with no issues at all.
When I installed (clean) the new f11 system on this machine (in fact two machines with this card both have identical issues), the install was fine, I then yum updated to the latest kernel and, as per my normal upgrade procedure, then yum installed kmod-nvidia-PAE from rpmfusion. This process worked without issue on two other machines which have nvidia graphics cards (but not the 8300 card). On rebooting, the boot began as normal (text kms/plymouth with the blue/white running line on the bottom of the screen), but as soon as x should start - it didn't. There was a blank screen with a flashing cursor at top right only. I removed the kmod-nvidia package, and xorg.conf and ran without it until yesterday. After updating the system to the new kernel yesterday I booted to the new kernel 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i686.PAE - which was fine and tried yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE (which is the correct version of kmod-nvidia for this card and kernel I believe) and rebooted - same as the original problem - after the plymouth non-graphical boot, blank screen with flashing cursor - except that some seconds later a couple of lines of text appeared on the screen related to selinux audit. I removed kmod-mvidia and am running without it again - this morning in the syslog there are lines: audit(1256631766.417:29202): auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:readahead_t:s0 op=remove rule key=(null) list=2 res=1 However I am not sure this is directly related to the kmod-nvidia-PAE or not. Anyway I wonder if anyone else has had a problem with this card and an inability to use kmod-nvidia? If so is there a known workaround? Thanks for any replies. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/F11-Nvidia-8300-GS-and-kmod-nvidia-PAE-fail-tp26091296p26091296.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
