Hello all,
This afternoon I updated the F15 x86_64 workstation I use. There
were quite a few updates in the pipe, so why not. There was properly
working nvidia setup which gave high Xorg resolution.
Before proceeding there was a warning from yum about the nvidia to
the effect that:
1:kmod-nvidia-2.6.41.10-3.fc15.x86_64-280.13-2.fc15.16.x86_64
needs:
kernel-uname-r = 2.6.41.10-3.fc15.x86_64
And that I should use '--skip-broken' to proceed.
So I thought that since everything is working fine right now, there is
nothing to loose to ignore this.
Wrong.
When the update was done I rebooted and no more X server. kernel
2.6.42.3-2.fc15.x86_64 was installed.
After a bit of time I decided to edit grub.conf to boot the previous
kernel which was 2.6.41.4-1.fc15.x86_64.
So now I have graphical output but only in 1024 low resolution.
How can I get back the high resolution eg, to get back the nvidia
driver in line ? I have both Fedora and rpm fusion repositories
configured.
uname -a is now:
2.6.41.4-1.fc15.x86_64
When I try a 'yum install kmod-nvidia' (hopefully thinking it would
install one for the current kernel) there is the same complaint:
kmod-nvidia-2.6.41.10-3.fc15.x86_64-280.13-2.fc15.16.x86_64
needs:
kernel-uname-r = 2.6.41.10-3.fc15.x86_64
Which is not part of the three kernels that are installed and available.
Is it possible to precisely ask yum to install the
2.6.41.10-3.fc15.x86_64 kernel that would work with nvidia ?
Or...
How to get back high resolution and if possible, how to get it back with
the new kernel that was just installed, 2.6.42.3-2.fc15.x86_64, to
which I can point grub to ?
Thanks.
