Can't load Nvidia driver on Fedora 9 x86_64
New install on a machine with the following: 00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7050/nForce 610i (rev a2) Kernel: kernel-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64 Livna is available, the following have been installed: kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64-173.14.09-1.lvn9.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-173.14.09-1.lvn9.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-173.14.09-1.lvn9.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.09-1.lvn9.x86_64 However, the nvidia module cannot be loaded; it exists, but the error says that it doesn't. Anyone else seeing this? At this point I'm using the VESA driver ...

Hugh, I know it doesn't help much, but just to give you a positive, that driver is working on for my integrated GeForce 6150 on x86_64: $grep -i nvidia /var/log/Xorg.0.log snip (II) Module nvidia: vendor=NVIDIA Corporation (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 173.14.09 Wed Jun 4 23:48:23 PDT 2008 (II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all Supported NVIDIA GPUs snip $lsmod | grep -i nvid nvidia 8108912 24 i2c_core 28448 2 nvidia,i2c_nforce2 $lspci -v | grep -i nvid snip 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51PV [GeForce 6150] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Kernel driver in use: nvidia Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nvidia snip $rpm -qa | grep nvidi xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-173.14.09-1.lvn9.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.4-30.fc9.x86_64-173.14.05-3.lvn9.x86_64 (I have an old kernel still installed.) kmod-nvidia-173.14.09-1.lvn9.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64-173.14.09-1.lvn9.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.09-1.lvn9.x86_64 $rpm -qf /lib/modules/2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64/extra/nvidia/nvidia.ko kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64-173.14.09-1.lvn9.x86_64 $uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 10 16:05:21 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I guess it's a problem with the rebuilding of the module by the kmod-nvidia rpm, so I'd start by removing and re-adding it; and/or checking it's post/pre scripts and finding out how it rebuilds the module and doing so by hand just to get it working. I assume you have the akmods/kmodtool rpms installed? I believe they're related to livna's rebuilding process, but I haven't needed to confirm that. $ rpm -qa | grep kmod kmodtool-1-11.lvn9.noarch akmods-0.3.1-1.lvn9.noarch Regards, Richard -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
