| <<TableOfContents(5)>> == What is xorg-x11-drv-nvidia? == xorg-x11-drv-nvidia is the package which provides the common files required by the nVidia driver. Its subpackage, xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs, provides the binary libraries used by the driver. == Installation Instructions == {{{ yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia }}} === x86_64 users === If you are running x86_64 and want to have 3D acceleration with 32bit applications, you'll need to install the 32bit version of xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs: {{{ yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i386 }}} == Common Problems == === Scrolling in Firefox is slow (no 3D) === This often happens when you use nvidia-settings or nvidia-xconfig to configure your xorg.conf without letting livna-config-display do it's autoconfiguration first. To fix this, run these two commands: {{{ nvidia-config-display disable nvidia-config-display enable }}} === Yum gives me a dependency errors about kmods and won't let me update. === This happens when a new kernel has been released and a matching kmod from RPM Fusion hasn't synced across all the mirrors, or vice-versa. Try giving it a few hours and if the problems persist, you can also try refreshing yum's cache: {{{ yum clean metadata }}} If after this you still experience problems, please report a bug. == FAQ == === Why should I use this package of the ones from nvidia.com? === The packages from [[http://www.nvidia.com|nvidia.com]] have been known to replace libGL, which isn't a problem until you decide to use another X driver or uninstall the nvidia driver. The RPM Fusion packages will ''never'' overwrite files like this. As well, the drivers packaged at RPM Fusion will make your life a bit easier by letting you let you grab new kmods through Yum or the "Software Update" tool. a few extra utilities to ensure that the drivers 'just work' with minimal user interaction (the initscripts, livna-config-display). === How come my xorg.conf is always getting edited for me? === This is a known problem, it will be fixed with the introduction of rpmfusion-config-display. In the mean time, if you'd really like to stop the drivers from making changes to your xorg.conf, run the livna-config-display GUI interface and you'll find a checkbutton to disable editing. Alternatively, you can run this command in a terminal: {{{ livna-config-display --active off }}} === How do I...? === An answer == Reporting bugs == If you think you've found a problem and would like to report it, include the following information along with the description of the bug: * Attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file * Attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, if it exists * Run {{{dmesg > ~/dmesg.txt}}} and attach the "dmesg.txt" found in your home ---- CategoryHowto |
