FYI, the main nvidia serie is replaced by the nvidia-304xx serie in F-18 (and on a later step in F-17) This will allow to introduce a newer driver without breaking users using geforce 6/7 card which support has been dropped
Also, this driver has seen some fixes wrt conflicting resolution with the default framebuffer. Please verify that on this update: - You have the matching nvidia kernel module (modinfo -F version nvidia output 304.88) - You do not have any /dev/fb* - You don't override ModulePath without reason in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d(so you are using the right nvidia libglx.so) - You boot using GRUB_LINUX_PAYLOAD=text and don't have GFXPAYLOAD set to any resolution - nouveau isn't loaded by default (lsmod |grep nouveau) or at least it can be unloaded using rmmod nouveau. Also to be solved before the F-17 EOL and F-19 is the nvidia-settings legacy that will rebase the 173xx to this new packaging scheme: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2720 Thx Nicolas (kwizart) 2013/6/13 <[email protected]> > > > ============================================================================ > Packages built and released for RPM Fusion (Fedora - nonfree) 18: 7 > > catalyst-kmod-13.4-2.fc18.3 > catalyst-legacy-kmod-13.1-2.fc18.16 > nvidia-173xx-kmod-173.14.36-5.fc18.16 > NEW nvidia-304xx-kmod-304.88-1.fc18 : NVIDIA display driver kernel module > nvidia-304xx-kmod-304.88-1.fc18.1 > wl-kmod-5.100.82.112-10.fc18.3 > NEW xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-304xx-304.88-5.fc18 : NVIDIA's 304xx serie > proprietary display driver for NVIDIA graphic cards >
