FC8x64 nvidia 8500gt problems

So still no luck here's my xorg log http://www.mediafire.com/?19jb1rx0g9m I;m about ready to shoot my computer.

 

Hi dr3w807,

when I looked around a bit I found out that some 8500GT cards are not recognized by the actual nvidia driver (distribution independent). Maybe you have to wait for the next driver release.

Best regards,

Olli

 

That really sucks, do you know when the next release is?

 

Hi dr3w807,

I expect the next release next month.

Best regards,

Olli

 

Thanks for all the help, maybe this thread will get even longer next month!

 

Alas I have once again failed. I just updated my kernel and the nvidia package to no avail. What should I do now?

 

Hi dr3w807,

that was not the new driver - it was only a new package of the existing driver for the new kernel. The new driver will be version 171.XX.

Best regards,

Olli

 

Ah, well I guess I was just a little to hasty, thanks for the info, once again I'll try to be patient.

 

New update, still no luck.

 

Hi dr3w807,

it's still the same driver

Olli

 

Then what was the update?

 

Hi dr3w807,

because a new kernel came out (2.6.24.4-64.fc8).
