Fedora 25 + Nvidia
Hi everyone,
I've installed F25 on a system with an old Nvidia Quadro NVS 110 GPU.
The RPMFusion driver didn't work so I installed the proprietary using
this guide: https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2015/fedora-nvidia-guide/
Briefly summarized, it uses a patched version of the 304.xx driver,
blacklists Nouveau, and registers the kernel modules with DKMS for easy
kernel upgrades.
It works great except for one hitch: I can only run Plasma in 2D. If
compositor with OpenGL is enabled, everything slows to full stop.
Disabling compositor with Shift+Alt+F12 brings the desktop back to life.
I'm at a loss about how to troubleshoot this. If anyone has experience
with this issue I would love to hear your suggestions.
Best regards,
Tom
