F12 and system-config-display on nvidia fx5200

[Joachim Backes]

Hi,

In previous Fedora versions I was successfully using kmod-nvidia-173xx 
(from rpmfusion-nfree) together with my fx5200 video card. When first 
installing F12, the nouveau driver was installed for graphics, and no 
kmod-nvidia-173xx was available.

In the meantime kmod-nvidia-173xx became available, and after 
downloading and installing it I wanted to configure my video card with
system-config-display, which fails each time I try to run (see bugzilla, 
there are a lot of bug reports for system-config-display in F12).

Question: is there another way than the usage of system-config-display 
for configuring my video card for the nidia-173xx driver?

All hints are welcome.

Kind regards

[Rajan, S. (Sanya)]

You could run nvidia-settings
