Re: Nvidia module not loaded; falling back to Nouveau

[Mr Brian Domenick]

Hi All,

I had a similar problem and it had to do with the kernel sources/headers
in my case. Fedora was running a later kernel and sources than the
latest version of stuff from rpmfusion for nvidia, once I put the
correct older version of sources/headers in place, I could force the
module to build and it all worked great from there.
