NVidia Driver question???
Greeting All: First of all, I would like to say thank you for whatever information that you can give me... I would like to know if it is better to use the supplied video drivers by fe xorg-x11-drv-? or would it be better to use the video driver from NVidia? My video card is: nVidia Corporation NV44 [Quadro NVS 285] (rev a1 Would anyone also be able to tell me if I will be able to gnome-shell/ gnome 3 with this video card as it currently says that I will need 3d acceleration now when I try to go to Desktop Effects if I were to use the NVidia supplied drivers? I do not even know if it would be wise to use the NVidia drivers anyway? Sincerely yours, Rob G.

I think you still need to install mesa-dri-drivers-experimental to get 3D for Nouveau. If you need more performance or if 3D is buggy for the stuff you want to do, then try the nVidia drivers using rpmfusion packages. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

Since the update of kernel 2.6.34.XXX I have the problem that my wirelles 3945 is not detected by Fedora 13, now I have downloaded Fedora 14 RC1 and I have the same issue. Do you know how to fix it? This smells like a typical problem of upstream maintainers putting new firmware into firmware/ instead of submitting the firmware to the linux-firmware project and the author of the driver then require a new firmware and the firmware is missing/misplaced .. Hopefully this problem will be discussed and resolved at the kernels summit which is in couple of days. To solve this is you need to find the last kernel that this worked with then file a bug against the kernel and tell the guys which kernel it worked with and which kernel it stopped working with and they will take it from there and fix it. Start with the latest kernel .34 which you can find here http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=193772 If it does not work with the latest or any of .34 I suggest you try the last .33 which you can find here. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=190700 And if that one does not work you need to try all the .33 kernels until you hit the one that worked for you.

You need to check and see if your card is supported with the current Nvidia driver release. If not, you will have to go with nouveau. --LX -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

Correct this is an Multi Desktop DVD that ambassadors have been pushing through and is a essentially a show case for ambassadors to distribute to people at shows and stuff and it contains the live spins of Gnome, KDE XFCE and LXDE so you should be presented with four Grub boot entries Fedora Gnome, Fedora KDE, Fedora XFCE, and Fedora LXDE ( or something similar ). http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/mega-dvd-test/Fedora-14-Live-multi/ If it is something new to F14 release, can we the testers play with it and fire up issues? It does not need any formal testing validation that has been taken care of by the individual spins and ambassadors themselves and far as I know this is the first time in Fedora history this is done so kudos to everyone involved I'm pretty sure it has been a bumpy ride pushing this through so certainly play around and poke at share you're thoughts and ideas with the rest of the community .

have installed Fedora Beta via KDE nightly builds some feedback
Dear folks, Several days ago, I managed to install Fedora Beta via LiveCD KDE 10 17 build don't remember exactly the name. Did not install before because had no internet available to test/download updates new packages. I have some feedback here, but have not been able to post bug reports konqueror fails to work correctly(*might be a yahoo problem :( *) 1) Cannot install wine :(, package conflicts so. _ package is newer than the package that wine requires, process ends. Have tried this three times with no success. 2) Tried to install kile/texmaker, but requirements are texlive-2007, that is a no brainer, wasn;t texlive 2010 going to be in the default build? I dismissed the install. This was a feature that was going to be implemented and it is not, this is a sad story to me. I have installed texlive 2010 by livedvd the upstream version, wanted to get the Fedora one, but *it :( sadly did not make its way* to Fedora 14, maybe Fedora 15? 3) Tried to setup automatic login, but the prompts don't prompt me for root password, and the process fails with error 6? abrt does not come up to report the bug :(, nothing I could do. 4) I guess it was too late, but now LibreOffice will replace OpenOffice, and Fedora 14 will come with OpenOffice, might need to switch to rawhide and track LibreOffice? Maybe developers can make a repo? available for those users that would like to help out in testing LibreOffice? Have installed it on two machines, have two more machines (x86_64 bit) ready for more testing when an RC comes out. Thanks in advance, Antonio P.S. Sorry for coming to the testing later on than usual, we have moved to a new school and we had no internet access till now and now we can try to help out more, maybe Fedora 15? Thanks for all the efforts and work that you guys put in. and sorry for the desilusion on texlive :( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive IT was slated for Fedora 14, but did not make it :( Current status * Targeted release: Fedora 15 * Last updated: 2009-10-22 * Percentage of completion: 60% If it comes to this, I am content to build it on my own, or installing it from the DVD on Slackware FreeBSD since they keep [tetex alive and kicking :( ] because of issues like texlive is HUGE, and other reasons. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
