[Appaji]

Hi all,

I installed the new Fedora 7 and then try to install the NVIDIA driver, but no luck when I 8500 GT, so I need to use the latest NVIDIA driver from nvidia.com I tryed the installation is complete, no errors uses nvidia - xconfig but X can not think of the driver can not start to open X server error log file I am looking forward to some Xorg fatal error. Any solution or experience? Please suggest.

Download the nvidia driver:
1. http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...18.31-pkg2.run.
2. Install kernel header: to find the current version of the kernel headers corresponding to the installation.
sudo apt-get install linux-header-2.6.28-16-server
3. Install the driver
chmod u + x NVDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2.run
sudo ./NVDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2.run.

To the NVIDIA website to download the latest NVIDIA drivers.
1. Give it executable permissions. chmod + x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run
2. Edit / etc / modprobe.d / blacklist.conf file to prevent nouveau module loaded. su-c 'gedit / etc / modprobe.d / blacklist.conf' at the end of the file add blacklist nouveau
3. Prevent the kernel load the nouveau module gedit / boot / grub / grub.conf kernel line in the end with rdblacklist = nouveau
4. Reduce the selinux-level, lift the load selinux prevent the nvidia driver module # setsebool-P allow_execstack on
5. To re-start, due to the installation of graphics drivers to run when no X service, so need to go to run level 3. Brand Logo appears in Press ESC key to enter the GRUB interface, the choice of the kernel, press e key to edit kernel line in the 3 This parameter is not added.

You need to install nvidia official driver display start no problem (in this sincere thanks amberprince) amberprince solution to install nvidia drivers after the official start of the original problem without the display attached: Install nvidia official driver, the most number of people into a black screen and boot screen progress bar of the Blue Ribbon. As long as you can install the following rpm:
bootchart.x86_64: Boot Process Performance Visualization

bootconf.noarch: GRUB configuration utility
bootconf-gui.noarch: Desktop links to bootconf

Or simply yum install boot. Then run bootconf. Select Resolution. Then reboot, the boot screen to see a long absence and the problem will solved.

Use one of the major shortcomings of official driver is updated every time the kernel to be recompiled when the kernel module. Simply say that the implementation of the first installation only when the driver file to run the way some differences.
su-c './NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run-K'
Add-K in the run-time parameters on behalf of only the compiled kernel module, instead of the driver files for the installation. After implementation, you can restart. Solution to install the official nvidia driver no display after startup problems.
