Please do not send private support request,
[email protected] is made for that purpose.

The plan was to update nvidia-kmod in F-10 along with
nvidia-newest-kmod from F-9.
F-9 will have 180.60 in stable and 185.18.14 in testing for
nvidia-newest to match the related cuda toolkit that nvidia support.
But indeed, I could have made only 185.18.14 in F-10 for nvidia, I
just plan to move them all along to stable (on next kernel update),
that will bump the version from 180.51 to 185.18.14. (so
akmod-nvidia-180.60 and etc can be provided in the
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-stable, mostly for archiving purpose).

Now  are you really sure that the problem will be solved by a version bump ?
That would deserve a bug report to track what have been done. and what
was the behaviour with a cleaner xorg.conf which let autodetection
works.

Subject: why no 185.18.14 for fc10?
To: [email protected], [email protected]


  Is there a reason that the nvidia drivers for fc10 are
still stuck at the 180.51 release? Today I installed a
EVGA GeForce 9600GT which seems unable to process the EDID
information under Fedora 10's nvidia drivers. The display
is restricted to 640x480 unless I resort to...

Unfortunately, I have been unable to find a 1600x1200 modeline
which doesn't cause an out of range error on my Viewsonic VP2030b.
I am hoping that the newer nvidia drivers might have this resolved
(since it isn't an issue on another x86_64 Fedora 10 box with
an EVGA GeForce 8600 GT card which doesn't require the above hack).
Thanks in advance for any information as it has been a real
struggle to get the GeForce 9600 GT to display above 640x480.
