Re: The "beauty?" of the nvidia drivers in action
I have the same problem, and cant find a solution to the problem.
I find it strange that every new Fedora release brakes the Nvidia
drivers.
Just a thought.

For fun(?) I decided to test those NVIDIA drivers against the latest
rawhide kernel and sundry other apps. Surprise! no worky.
Anyway, that's not this lists problem and I am spamming over to the
nvidia mailing list for guidance, but there was some interesting
behaviour of the system when the module was loaded. Here are some of
the highlights from /var/log/messages:
Pretty Standard here:
Apr 4 22:31:34 localhost init: Switching to runlevel: 5
Apr 4 22:31:37 localhost kernel: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints
kernel.
Apr 4 22:31:37 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] ->
GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
Apr 4 22:31:37 localhost kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA
Kernel Module 1.0-7174 Tue Mar 22 06:44:39 PST 2005
Then the fun begins. The following three messages appear repeatedly:
Apr 4 22:31:38 localhost kernel: agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant
device at 0000:00:00.0.
Apr 4 22:31:38 localhost kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at
0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode
Apr 4 22:31:38 localhost kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at
0000:01:00.0 into 4x mode
Sprinkled with messages about gdm loosing its connection to X(not
surprising if X is having serious issues):
Apr 4 22:31:44 localhost gdm[4251]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X
error - Restarting :0
Then the final message of Doom:
Apr 4 22:32:29 localhost gdm[4139]: Failed to start X server several
times in a short time period; disabling display :0
Anyhow, I'm running this on a Dell Latitude D800 with an Nvidia GeForce4
Ti 4200 Go AGP 8x. Don't know if anyone on this list really cares at
this point, and I don't think that anyone at Nvidia is going to give a
rip either. Just thought you all might be curious!
