Hi
I have just fitted a Gigabyte GT710 graphics card to a machine running Fedora 22. The monitor is connected to the DVI-D port of the card.
When the system boots the BIOS messages appear on the monitor, but as soon as the system starts Fedora the monitor goes blank.
Any suggestions on how to fix this please?
Best regards
David

Ask google: rpmfusion, nvidia, akmod, kmod

Enable the rpmfusion repo and then do "dnf install akmod-nvidia-340", followed by a reboot. NB: currently version 4.6 kernels are giving trouble with the Nvidia driver on F24. Don't know about F22, which BTW is close to being EOLed.

Actually, the 4.6 kernel problems were fixed with a recent update. I'm running akmod-nvidia and a 4.6 kernel right now with update I got from rpmfusion this morning.

I checked this morning, but as I'm in Europe your morning may be several hours later than mine :-)

To be precise, the fix was done on 7/1 and I verified on 7/2. I'm not sure when the update hit the mirrors.

One other issue that may crop up is if you are using secure boot. RPM Fusion kernel mod isn't signed that EUFI will accept. Had to turn off secure boot to get my nvidia working.

Still not seeing this. I have akmod-nvidia-340xx-340.96-3.fc24.x86_64 and there appears to be no update in the rpmfusion repo, including {{non-}free}-updates-testing.

akmod-nvidia-340xx-340.96-3.fc24.x86_64 is the latest and fixes the problem with kmod-nvidia-340xx not getting built locally when a new kernel arrives.

Well, my flabber is gasted. It wasn't working and now it is (with no new kernel or akmod since the last time it didn't work). Must be PEBKAC.

Installing akmod-nvidia-340 (assuming that 340 is the right driver for your card) will bring in a lot more stuff, because akmod has to rebuild the kmod that will be used with the current kernel.
Often the kmod that you need can be downloaded, but there is a delay between the release of the kernel and the appearance of the kmod in the repo.
Building the kmod will probably take several tens of seconds. It can be triggered by running 'akmods-shutdown' - or it might happen on actual shutdown before a reboot. A rebuild during boot will cause extra delay and perhaps more anxiety.
We installed:
dnf install akamod-nvidia-340 dnf install /usr/bin/kmodtool dnf install akmods dnf install nvidia-340xx-kmod-common xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-kmodsrc
But now the boot fails at:
"Stopped user manager for UID 42"
(indicated by monitor connected to onboard VGA device).

No idea. I assume the above installs went through and that the 'akamod' is a typo.
... and I had wondered how you might do all this with a black screen.
If you still have kernel 4.2.6-200 you might be able to install the matching kmod and reboot.

You can put enough kernel command line options in grub.cfg (or manually edit the kernel line when booting) to force it to use the vesa driver, which for me, enabled me to get bad resolution video that was good enough to see how to install the nvidia packages from rpmfusion.
