nvidia proprietary driver and console

[Pal, Laszlo]

Hi,

Recently I had issues with suspend/resume and it seems related to nouveou
nvidia drivers, so I've moved to prop. using negativo's repo.

Everything is fine, except my text console which is now text (640x780). Is
there any way to restore the way it looked when I used open source driver?
I've tried to search a solution, but it seems simple gfxpayload is not
enough

I've found this guide for FC20, but it seems something else still missing

http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2014/fedora-20-nvidia-guide/

Any idea how to fix?

Thanks

You might try this guide instead: 
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=204752  I know the name 
makes it look old, but it's been kept current and covers considerably 
more than other guides I've looked at.

Thank you. Quite a long thread and it is already closed, and there is a new
one for newer FC :) I'll search for a solution, but if anyone else has some
more direct help, please do not hesitate to post :)

Thanks

I've had the best results lately with the negativo17 packages.  Sorry for
not having a thorough answer to the actual question at hand, though - I
hardly ever use the consoles.

Hi,

Finally it has been found this is some kind of grub2 bug related to 16bit
initrd thingies... :) after I've modified the script (10_linux) everything
is fine. However because of my ecryptfs there is no nice spalsh screen, but
this is my smallest problem :)

Update
Everything is fine including splash screen and themes after this small
modification. Hopefully it will be integrated into the upstream too
