kmod-nvidia not working in kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5

[Deepak]

Hi all,

I have recently updated the kernel from 2.6.15 to 2.6.17 and installed the
kmod-nvidia from livna but I can't run my GL based screen savers. Display is
wokring fine, only GL  is not working. Do you have any experience like this?
Anybody knows the work around?

Thanks

[Lonni J Friedman]

what does "can't run my GL based screen savers" mean?  what does the
output from glxinfo look like?

Sorry I was not clear. What I mean was, after installing kmod-nvidia I can
still use X. There is no difference between installing kmod-nvidia and not
installing. Either way I can't use the graphics acceralation.

glxinfo gives me
============================
name of display: :0.0

visual  x  bf lv rg d st colorbuffer ax dp st accumbuffer  ms  cav
 id dep cl sp sz l  ci b ro  r  g  b  a bf th cl  r  g  b  a ns b eat
----------------------------------------------------------------------
0x21 24 tc  1  0  0 c  .  .  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0 0 None
0x22 24 dc  1  0  0 c  .  .  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0 0 None

===============================

anyway what  does it mean?

Hope this information will help.

It means that you're not using the nvidia X driver.  See the driver
README for instructions.

Did you try
nvidia-config-display enable
?

But I did the nvidia installation as instructed in
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc5.html#nvidia

I checked if kmod-nvidia is really installed or not through rpm and it says
it is installed.
------------------
$ rpm -q kmod-nvidia
kmod-nvidia-1.0.8762-2.2.6.17_1.2139_FC5
----------------------

Now I am confused.
