Installed Nvidia Driver = Taskbar Shrunk & K Menu Taking too long to launch

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I installed Nvidia drivers for my GTS250 card by reading instructions in this thread. Since I have 4GB of RAm, I decided to install the PAE Kernel on my system. After rebooting I was prompted to choose between Normal Fedora 12 & the Fedora 12 PAE Kernel. I booted into normal but it could not detect my Full HD monitor & so it ran at 1280*1024. So I now get black space on all sides of the screen. After that I booted into PAE kernel. Here everything seems to be fine except that the taskbar has shrunk. It now covers only around 60% horizontal area while the rest is left blank. Also the 'K' Menu takes around 10-15 secs to open upon clicking on it. How do I remedy them? (HowTos)

Hi,

I've had Fedora 15 up and running on my system for a whlie using the Nvidia drivers from RPMFusion.

Now I have wiped the system and re-installed with the updated Fedora 17, totally clean install.

In order to install the Nvidia drivers I followed this guide (the official Fedora Nvidia howto?):

And then subsiquently ran:

After several failed attempts to install nvidia hardware drivers that resulted in an unusable system, I've been wondering if there is an easy way to get back the system without having to reinstall entirely?

Just finished wiping and re-installing F12 From a DVD on an Dell Inspiron 9300 with a NV 6800. The NVidia site driver refused to install. so i used the method documented here

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), with an NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS video card. The system worked fine until I recently did an update, using the update manager. When I restarted the system, it went into low graphic mode and I could not re-establish the NVIDIA card. I booted up in 640x480 mode (which I am still in) and have attempted to fix the situation but to no avail.

Hi!

I'm really newbie in Fedora (i just change this weekend) and I hope you can help me. I have google a bit (if a bit is more than 5 hours XD) but I couldn't find a solution that works for me.

I installed OpenSuse Gnome version 64 bit on a HP laptop DV7 Intel Dual Core with nVidia 9600 GM card

All went well, until after I had installed the nVidia drivers from this page: NVIDIA drivers - openSUSE
