FC12-nvidia driver crash

[Sagitter]

Hi to all,

i have tried to install kmod-nvidia drivers for my nVidia device:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 9600M GT (rev a1)

so :

$ rpm -qa | grep nvidia  
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-190.42-2.fc12.i686  
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-190.42-2.fc12.i686  
kmod-nvidia-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686-190.42-1.fc12.4.i686  
akmod-nvidia-190.42-1.fc12.4.i686 
 
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf  
# RPM Fusion blacklist for nouveau driver - you need to run as root:  
# dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)  
# if nouveau is loaded despite this file.  
blacklist nouveau 
 
$ uname -r  
2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686  

but this is a error at boot of Fedora

...
Checking for module nvidia.ko: [ OK ]

this before start udev:

udevd-work[99]: unable to create db file '/dev/.udev/db/\x2fdevices\x2fpci0000:00\x2f0000:00:1f.2\x2fhost1 \x2ftarget1:0:0\x2f1:0:0:0\x2fblock\x2fsr0': Permission denied

set SELinux so:

# setsebool -P allow_execstack on 

What's my problem?

Thanks

Try this, I believe it is because you have a xorg.conf.

su
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old1
nvidia-config-display disable
nvidia-config-display enable

Thank you, leigh123linux.

Now driver works very fine.

That's all? Which was the problem?

Xorg.conf, nvidia-config-display didn't like the fact it already existed.

Ok. Thank you again.
