It may be more effective to ask on the RPM Fusion list (or it may not, as there are more users here), but it's not at all off-topic here. Anyway, glad to see the OP has got it sorted. I get by just using the nv driver these days. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Now, I have the Nvidia drivers working perfectly on my machine.

You don't give very much information, but I'd guess that you installed the wrong version of the Nvidia drivers for your card.

There's a reason that the packages came from RPM Fusion and not Fedora, namely they are binary proprietary drivers. Therefore it is generally inappropriate to seek support here. You could start with the RPM Fusion users mailing list but depending on what your issue is it may be better to try the Nvidia forums. Thanks, Richard Ran into a problem like that with PCLOS. I was advised to do the following: From the commandline boot, sign on as root. Then do: apt-get install dkms-nvidia340 XFdrake -auto reboot This may work OK for you, since both are rpm systems. --doug -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

There are several different guides for that, some better than others. Which one did you use? BTW, if you really need to get rid of them and start fresh, do this from a CLI as root: yum remove \*nvidia\* This will get rid of everything nvidia-related so that when you reboot, you're back where you started. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
