https://bbs.archlinux.org – Tried: ACPI=noirq" (made no difference)Tried:rmmod nvidiamodprobe nvidiastartx(Didnt start up)Tried uninstalling nvidia & installing nouveau instead.:Didn't boot & startup hanged - had to add nomodeset in order to get to the commandline. So it looks like the nvidia driver is working in some respects. The Xorg.log / dmesgv output below is with the nouveau driver installed, which doesn't seem to get picked up at all:Xorg.0.log [ 548.414] X.Org X Server 1.13.2 Release Date: 2013-01-24 [ 548.415] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 548.415] Build Operating System: Lin (HowTos)

Greets all and congrats on the developers on bringing us another great version of Fedora.

Hello,I was using nouveau with xf86-video-nouveau for some time on my Laptop with GeForce 6150 and AMD Dualcore CPU.Now I wanted to switch back to nvidia or nvidia-ck-kx to be preciese since I'm using the CK Kernel. I have used the CKKernel with nvidia-ck driver before.So I installed nvidia-ck-kx and nvidia-utils to replace libgl with it.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 on a notebook HP Elibook 8540w, working with the recommended additional NVidia driver. The graphic card is a QUADRO FX 1800M.

So I was recently trying to fix some minor video problems I was having on 12.04, and in the process I foolishly installed an NVIDIA driver. Previously I was using the nouveau driver, and loving every minute of it, but now I can't seem to turn it back on.

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.

NVIDIA driver issue? 33 weeks 1 day ago

Today I performed a yum upgrade to F18 from F17. It went pretty smoothly I must say. The only problem I have had is getting the proprietary NVIDIA driver working. If I load the system without an 'xorg.conf' file it loads the default drivers just fine. When specifying the nvidia driver, however, the system will not load the display manager. Shell access is still available though.

I try to switch from nvidia to nouveau driver via script:

!/bin/bash

stop gdm

rmmod nvidia

sed -i "s/nouveau/nvidia/" /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf

update-alternatives --set gl_conf /usr/lib/mesa/ld.so.conf ldconfig

modprobe nouveau

cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf{.nouveau,}

start gdm

and driver is loaded and X started but compiz it doesn't.

I have a problem with this configuration:

Asus K55V, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Nvidia driver 304.51.

I have remove the nouveau driver with:

apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

I installed the official nvidia driver (from www.nvidia.com) but when I reboot the PC the resolution of screen is only 640x480 and the monitor is resized.

Mo solution at this problem if i change the xorg.conf.

I want to install new nvidia drivers R310 so I downloaded driver and when I run it it says that i can't install new drivers because there is this nouveau driver. It asked me if I want to add blacklist file with nouveau in modprobe so I said yes please.
