Hello guys,
I've read all the Nvidia driver threads for F18 and some people like me seems to keep having problems eventhough we do everthing needed. I'll put my problem and logs here, maybe it will help us solve this issue.
What I did from the start.
Graphics card is Nvidia GTS 250 (Everything works perfectly with Ubuntu 12.10 so no I'm sure there are no hardware problems)
1. Install fresh 32-bit F18, update the system and restart computer
2. Add RPMFusion and install akmod-nvidia which also installs 6 packages including xorg-x11-drv-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs
3. Change /etc/default/grub
4. Change /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
5. Run grub2-mkconfig (gives no errors)
6. Run the following (gives no errors and the new initram image is created with the correct name successfully)
7. Restart computer. Proof-check the grub line for rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0
8. No acceleration. Check lsmod | grep nvidia
9. Run nvidia-xconfig and restart computer
10. No acceleration. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log -> http://fpaste.org/SPqy/
That's it. I'm stuck. Any ideas?
Thank you
