nVidia GTX295 on Fedora 13 64-bit -- problem with kmod-nvidia

maverick280857 · #1 9th July 2010, 10:52 AM

Hi,

I am trying to install drivers for the nVidia GTX 295 on my Fedora 13 64-bit box. When I tried to install nvidia's proprietary (.sh) driver, I got the error "unable to load kernel module nvidia.ko". So, I tried the kmod-nvidia rpm, and restarted the system. Here is the error message I get on bootup:

Code:

Yeah, if the driver is not working, show us

Code:

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
lsmod

if the driver is working fine and the only issue is that error at boot, just turn off the nvidia service.

maverick280857 · #3 9th July 2010, 05:19 PM

nvidia display settings works, and so does X, so I think the driver is working.

But for the record,

Code:

Yup, either ignore the error or just turn the nvidia service off, for now.

Either from System > Administration > Services or using

Code:

chkconfig nvidia off

The only downside of turning the service off is that if the nvidia driver fails to load for whatever reason you'll need to manually move /etc/X11/xorg.conf somewhere else to get X up and running.

maverick280857 · #5 10th July 2010, 12:59 PM

Thanks. I switched the service off, and the software updater found (by itself) an update to the driver, which it installed. I rebooted and everything seems to be okay now.

Interesting... I have the same problem:

However, I'm not sure if the problems I have with some tools are somewhat related to this:

Code:

I ran into this a moment ago. I got around it by removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Once I did that, I got past that particular problem. (And subsequently ran into others...)

I just installed Fedora 13 (64-bit) on my system right now.. I've GTX 260 Core 216 on which GTX 295 is based.. So, which driver should I install, the proprietary one from NVIDIA or via Yum?

The nvidia driver is proprietary regardless of where you get it from. (RPM Fusion simply repackages the driver and makes it easier to install.)

The advantage of getting the driver straight from nvidia's site is that you'll get the very latest driver available. The advantage of getting it using yum from RPM Fusion is that updating your system is easier.

I usually opt for the yum-based approach. When I don't it's either because the driver in yum doesn't work for me or because there's some compelling feature in the latest driver from nvidia's site.

i had the same problem with my nvidia and for almost 3 weeks i had no solution. i think u need to follow these steps

1.acquire your edid file(you might not need this, but i did)
1.i)this is important edit /etc/grub.conf and blacklist noaveau. u might have read about this
2.download the .run package nvidia driver from nvidia website. now kill your x server and log into text mode.
3.install the driver using this command
as a root ./package name
and if your x server is killed then you will be simply asked some question and and might finish installing it.

4. now dont reboot. using nano or vi {whatever u like} open /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and edit it as shown below

Code:

Section "Screen"
    
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    Option         "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
    Option         "CustomEDID"       "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edidfile.bin"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

where CustomEDID part gives the address of your edid file, you can get this from windows os.

now after saving this file u may reboot.
and hopefully you are finished with installing nvidia driver

takkies · #11 25th August 2010, 04:29 PM

Hi abayshu, Please could you give me mor instruction as to blacklisting the noaveau or removing it? because if i try to install the nvidia driver it tells me something about a checksum error.

Thanks.

Hi.I am a newbie and I wonder if you could give more info about the last step.I dont know how to edit xorg.conf file

When i try to install the nvidia drivers i downloqded from the nvidia site, it gives me a checksum error. Any ideas?

I'd try a re-download of the same driver.

takkies · #15 27th August 2010, 05:58 PM

Downloaded the same driver twise, no joy. It just give me a different checksum error.
