Hi Eirik,<br>
I assume from this you are trying to use the proprietary nvidia
drivers which are not in the Fedora repositories, would this be
correct? Either way, when you system hangs you should be able to
press Alt-F1 or Alt-F7 depending on how your system is configured to
start a new session where you can log in to a new shell, and then
look at the xorg log in /var/log which will then tell you if the
nvidia driver you are using is causing an issue.<br>
Looking at the guide you have linked to, I have tried the
removal of the nouveau driver via the method documented and was not
able to get it to work. I am using the kmod drivers identified in
the guide and have had no problem with those working. I have also
found that if you try to install a kmod driver that is for an older
kernel version to what you are using, it will not install unless the
install can find the matching older kernel. If you have installed a
kmod driver for an older kernel and you boot into the newer kernel
you will definitely get issues where the system appears to hang,
because the nvidia driver you are using must have been built for the
kernel you are using, xorg will fail if it isn't. If you have
multiple kernels listed in your boot menu try booting with an older
kernel to see if that works, which will identify if you have an
nvidia driver - kernel version issue.<br>
My reading of the xorg log when investigating issues indicates
that it is potentially a bad move to remove the nouveau driver
anyway (also when using the kmod nvidia drivers you don't need to
remove the nouveau driver explicitly anyway) as, if I have read
things correctly, when using the nvidia drivers xorg has a hierarchy
of drivers it will try to use, it will try to use the nvidia driver
first, if that fails it falls back to the nouveau driver, and if
that fails I think it falls back to the vga driver. Also I'm not
sure what the acpid package the guide is suggesting to be installed
is, I have never explicitly installed that package with the drivers,
so I'm assuming it is installed by default anyway.<br>
