Please note that I won't respond to any post's for help unless this basic information is included!

Code:

rpm -qa *\nvidia\*  *\kernel\*|sort;uname -r;lsmod |grep -e nvidia -e nouveau;cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

F16 Howto for the rpmfusion nvidia drivers

This is a Four-Step Process. If you don't follow all three steps, your install will fail!


1. Update the kernel and reboot

 

Code:

su
yum update kernel\* selinux-policy\*
reboot

2. Install the nvidia driver.

For GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 200, 300, 400 & 500 series cards 


Using akmod: This is the best option in my opinion as you don't get any problems when a new kernel is released.

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________
Extra step for PAE kernel only

 

Code:

su
yum install kernel-PAE-devel

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________

 

Code:

su
yum --nogpgcheck install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686

Or using kmod (which saves a bit of disk space but will have problems with every kernel update.)
( if you have 4Gb of RAM or more you will probably have a PAE kernel [32bit only] so follow the PAE part )

 

Code:

su
yum --nogpgcheck install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686

If you use a PAE kernel 

 

Code:

su
yum --nogpgcheck install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE

3. Make sure nouveau is removed from initramfs


 

Code:

su
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

4. Reboot

4. If you would like plymouth as well (optional)

Code:

There is a selinux issue that prevents gnomes-hell from starting  (I hate it )


https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694918

run

Code:

su
grep gnome-session-c /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M nvidiaisbroken
semodule -i nvidiaisbroken.pp

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _
If it fails to work check /boot/grub/grub.conf to see if nouveau is blacklisted, if not run.

1. Edit grub.conf 


this command adds rdblacklist=nouveau option to /boot/grub/grub.conf 

Code:

su -
sed -i '/root=/s|$| rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0|' /boot/grub/grub.conf
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

2. Reboot



__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ______

If nouveau refuses to die try

Code:

su
yum erase xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
mv  /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko        /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.txt
