i am going to try also if any got better and easy solution please recommend

thanks guys in advance for rocking my world with fedora again

 

mack_guy911,
Do you mean you are not using KMS (kernel mode setting) and have used the 'nomodeset' boot parameter ? - just curious because you mention 'user mode'

 

I know this isn't the solution you want but just use the nouveau driver if you're not interested in 3D stuff. It saves a whole lot of messing around.
2D perfromance with nouveau was satisfactory when I used an old nvidia card. The only experience I have of trying to get the propriety driver running in Fedora resulted in X crashing and me not having a clue how to fix it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Have you tried autoten or easylife?

 

I recently installed Fedora 13 and followed the steps to install the nvidia driver as described here:

I do think that you might check out disabling the nouveau driver, which is documented on this page.

 

i mean to say when i get user login mode i enter user and password its hangs the desktop form launching


thanks wilbertnl but rdblacklist=nouveau is already set also mode set =0

i remove

yum remove kmod nvidia

and yum remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau as well but still getting nvidia driver causing problem

now what i am going to do is roll back then set it again

What happens when you add the nomodeset boot parameter ? It deactivates mode setting in the kernel and uses X.org.

On booting when you get grub menu, press 'e' to edit. On the "linux" line, add "nomodeset". It is on the same line as you may have "quiet splash".
CTRL-x to boot.

If it works make the change permanent - edit /etc/default/grub as follows:-

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"

Then update grub.

If it doesn't work no harm done.

 

thanks ocky i will try i guss its kernel problem because after removing nvidia its still there i check your way as well )

 

I always install nvidia in Fedora with akmod and it has never given me issues. Only recently there was a snafu involving rpm fusion not being updated with the latest kernel dev from Fedora. Sadly Fedora's answer was that you should be using open source drivers in the first place.

 

yes strange i also never had a problem with nvidia before i try to downgrade kernel it also didnt work any ways i formated and reinstall now i guss i should not update kernel untill it resolve

is working well with old kernel

 

i just update today update and then install nvidia all working fine

i guss they have resolve the rpm fusion repo problem
