Fedora Core 1.90 test 1 and nvidia drivers


Recommended Posts

Nvidia's drivers have been giving me hell with Fedora Core 1.90 test 1. I go to run level 3, run the installer, it doesn't find a kernel interface but it's able to create one, the kernal complains about being tainted since the nvidia drivers aren't open source, I edit my /etc/X11/XF86Config file to change the driver to 'nvidia' and keep it from loading dri, reboot, then get stuck with a blank screen. I then reset my computer and edit the kernal startup parameters to go into run level 3 but I find out that sendmail is freezing the system. So I reboot again and go into run level 1 and delete the the sym links at /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80sendmail and /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S80sendmail to prevent sendmail from freezing the system with the tainted kernal but I still get a blank screen when I try booting in run level 5. This happens with a fresh install of FC 1.90 test 1 with a geforce 3 ti 200 and the 5336 drivers.

If nobody has a solution, could I at least get some feedback on whether or not the drivers work for you in FC 1.90 test 1 and which video card you have.

About the only feedback I can give you is my nVidia GeForce card with 32MB works fine in FC1. I haven't tried the alphas for FC2 yet. At least, I think that they are still in alpha, not beta yet....
