</div>So I gave your suggestion a try last night and no joy. Installed kmod and akmods for nvidia, it pulled in the requisite x nvidia<br>
packages, and it just wouldn't run at all. When I looked to see what was up I realized that the nvidia module hadn't<br>
loaded...strange, thought I! So I tried to manually load it with modprobe and received the error "Error: could not insert 'nvidia'<br>
:Exec format error". Bummer. So then I downloaded the nvidia package from nvidia directly and, no joy, won't compile (I did do a<br>
little looking around and saw some information about patches that needed to be applied to get nvidia to build on 3.13+ kernels and<br>
tried those patches but the build failed in other places). So I had to fall back to nouveau. Bleah! Ah well, at least I've got a<br>
functioning (albeit not accelerated) system!<br>
<br>
I'm running latest updated rawhide (3.14.0-0.rc4.git0.1).<br>
