pHuzi0n Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pHuzi0n Posted February 21, 2004 Author Share Posted February 21, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....

pHuzi0n Posted February 21, 2004 Author Share Posted February 21, 2004 Test 1 is synonymous to 'beta 1'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Which kernel are you running? There are problems with Xfree and kernel 2.6.3 (will crash when Xfree starts)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pHuzi0n Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 It has kernal 2.6.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
