same problem for me with a 7900GS except I don't see any syslog message about selinux when X tries to start.<br>Disabling selinux seems to get round it.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 9:56 AM, Mike Cloaked <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mike.cloaked@gmail.com">mike.cloaked@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Has anyone had a total failure to run kmod-nvidia with an 8300 GS graphics<br>
card in f11?<br>
My system<br>
(<a href="http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_0461ec99-2d05-44bf-ac48-1a0d78a17c52" target="_blank">http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_0461ec99-2d05-44bf-ac48-1a0d78a17c52</a>)<br>
used to run with the kmod-nvidia-PAE installed from rpmfusion just fine in<br>
f10 with no issues at all.<br>
<br>
When I installed (clean) the new f11 system on this machine (in fact two<br>
machines with this card both have identical issues), the install was fine, I<br>
then yum updated to the latest kernel and, as per my normal upgrade<br>
procedure, then yum installed kmod-nvidia-PAE from rpmfusion. This process<br>
worked without issue on two other machines which have nvidia graphics cards<br>
(but not the 8300 card). On rebooting, the boot began as normal (text<br>
kms/plymouth with the blue/white running line on the bottom of the screen),<br>
but as soon as x should start - it didn't. There was a blank screen with a<br>
flashing cursor at top right only. I removed the kmod-nvidia package, and<br>
xorg.conf and ran without it until yesterday.<br>
<br>
After updating the system to the new kernel yesterday I booted to the new<br>
kernel 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i686.PAE - which was fine and tried yum install<br>
kmod-nvidia-PAE (which is the correct version of kmod-nvidia for this card<br>
and kernel I believe) and rebooted - same as the original problem - after<br>
the plymouth non-graphical boot, blank screen with flashing cursor - except<br>
that some seconds later a couple of lines of text appeared on the screen<br>
related to selinux audit. I removed kmod-mvidia and am running without it<br>
again - this morning in the syslog there are lines:<br>
audit(1256631766.417:29202): auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295<br>
subj=system_u:system_r:readahead_t:s0 op=remove rule key=(null) list=2 res=1<br>
<br>
However I am not sure this is directly related to the kmod-nvidia-PAE or<br>
not.<br>
<br>
Anyway I wonder if anyone else has had a problem with this card and an<br>
inability to use kmod-nvidia? If so is there a known workaround?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any replies.<br>
