Nvidia driver makes volume hotkeys stop working

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Did anyone experience the same issue in the subject? I'm running F12 on a Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo X9525 and the latest (190.42) nVidia drivers. As far as I can remember I had the same issue with other Fedora versions (F10, F11) and older nVidia drivers. Simply the volume hotkeys stopped working. They used to work perfectly with the nouveau drivers installed by anaconda. Thanks for your help, w. PS: I've run the .run package downloded from nVidia instead of rpmfusion nvidia drivers. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Nvidia driver makes volume hotkeys stop working

I can't get the nvidia drivers in Fedora 18 installed. Nouveau is disabled. I think the problem is that there isn't a driver for the latest kernel in rpmfusion. Anyone else has problems installing the nvidia drivers?

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.

I updated my system to the latest Nvidia driverslocal/lib32-nvidia-utils 304.43-1 NVIDIA drivers utilities and libraries. (32-bit) local/nvidia 304.43-1 NVIDIA drivers for linux. local/nvidia-utils 304.43-1 NVIDIA drivers utilities and libraries.when using the older 302.x Nvidia drivers, gpm at login, and then X both works.

Hi All

So I upgraded to latest ubuntu (12.04) about 2 months ago, and after the upgrade I was only able to get 1024x768 resolution on the desktop.

I have had nothing but trouble trying to get linux working on this laptop, and would really appreciate some help. I recently switched over to the NVIDIA drivers because with the nouveau drivers on kernel 3.5.x I can't suspend. The problem I'm having is that I can't control my backlight with these drivers.

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.

Actually I have nouveau string in make.conf.

"Nvidia-smi has failed because it couldn't communicate with NVIDIA driver. Make sure that latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running."

Hi all,

I was able to get my nvidia card working a few days ago using the beta driver I downloaded from Nvidia and installed it the hardway. I did all of the suggested setup by adding nomodeset as a boot option, changing NO_KMS_IN_INITRD to "yes" as well as blacklisting "nouveau.

Hi,

After the latest kernel update, bumblebee and the nvidia drivers fail. I decided to simply revert back to nouveau drivers but that doesn't work. I believe I have deleted everything relevant: dkms, bbswitch, bumblebee, nvidia drivers, xorg files...
