Re: Fedora core 13 on Dell Vostro 3500 with i5 -- NVIDIA(R) Geforce™ 310M

[Muhammad Uzair Khan]

hi,
thanks for your help. i had simply installed, the nvidia-setting and 
nvidia-conf programs which i ran. I checked using
rpm -qa | grep kmod

and the only thing that turns up are the kmod-wl .

Also the output from the command you gave throws up a couple of 
warnings. But mainly has the following errors:


(WW) warning, could'nt open module nvidia
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available

Also,
During the boot process it does not really through up any errors. Simply 
brings up an initial screen (blue backgroud) and then just sits there 
doing nothing. I changed to console and all i can are various services 
being started without any problem.
The last service to be started is

Starting crond:                [ok]
Starting atd:                    [ok]


Before this there is a warning,

udevd[504] SYSFS{}= will be removed in a future udev version, please use 
ATTR{}= to match the event devide or ATTRS{}= to match a parent device , 
in/etc/udev/rules.d/50-euvccam.rules:6

Should i try installing, kmod-nvidia ?

regards
khan
