Hello
I have just updated kernel to 2.6.8.1-24. I downloaded the nvidia driver
from nvidia.com and installed per instructions. After downloading I
tested with startx and everything worked fine. Upon reboot however, the
driver would not load. Error message was: "Failed to initialize the
NVIDIA kernel module. Screens found, but none were usable
configuration". I have changed nv to nvidia and have tried the load
"glx" and also the open source load instructions: Load
"/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so". This worked with the open
source driver on kernel 2681-12. Any help would be appreciated in
getting this working. I have checked for an os driver (Thac's rpms) but
could not find one for the 2681-24 kernel. The new nvidia driver was
supposed to remove the old driver but would there be anything else
needing to be changed?
Thanks
John
If this happens only on reboot add "nvidia" to /etc/modprobe.preload
