Hi I installed nvidia drivers using terminal... i added the newest repositories, to ensure getting the newest driver, once that was complete, i ran the following command
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
this started the download and successfully installed the (290.xx.xxx) version. The issue I have is when opening X-server application it still shows NVidia driver version 173.14.30.
This is for cards that need the current driver. If you need a legacy driver (173 or 96) there are dkms packages as well, but I have no way to test them. Good luck!I have seen a few people having trouble with the proprietary Nvidia drivers on crunchbang. It should not be this way as installing the Nvidia drivers is quite painless in Debian.
Due to stability issues with the newest Nvidia drivers (see this thread), I'd like to install the Nvidia 295.33 driver version on FC17. That is the newest driver that is reported to run well.
This driver is not available through rpmfusion for FC17, I believe. What would be the best way to get this driver installed on FC17, with the latest 3.4 kernel?
When I install the recommended drivers, even the latest from their ppa, on reboot, xwindows won't start, it just boots to a console login.
If I purge nvidia and reboot, it works with the builtin ubuntu drivers, even 3D, but system reports the experience as 'standard' using driver Gallium 0.4 on NV92 .
I would like to get nvidia drivers working to see if it performs better.
