I need help...I've reinstalled FC8 more times than I'd like to admit, I've begun typing "su* yum install kmod-nvidia" in my sleep. I can't install the drivers for the life of me. Well i guess that's bot true, it's installed, it just doesn't want to do anything. After I restart x-server(log out and in). I have to reconfigure x-server, and when I try to open the nvidia settings it tells me "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " and when I do what it says i get "[root@localhost dr3w807]# nvidia-xconfig bash: nvidia-xconfig: command not found" please help.
Hi dr3w807, please give me the output of Code: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver Best regards, Olli
I know I'm not him, but here is the drivers that are installed for me. cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver Driver "kbd" Driver "nv" I'm having the same issue.
Hi, please change Code: Driver "nv" to Code: Driver "nvidia" After that log out and in again to take the changes effect. Best regards, Olli
Found another fix I have tried that fix, and I would then have to remove xorg.conf to obtain graphic x again because changing nv to nvidia would cause X to be inoperable. I have, however, found another fix on fedorafaq.org. To install kmod-nvidia yum install kmod-nvidia Then to put the X system into level 3 to enable nvidia-display-settings init 3 nvidia-display-settings enable Kmod-nvidia provides a display utility that takes care of writing to the xorg.conf file and provides display drivers that are not previously found in the distro. (nvidia 8600)
