if you were to inform us as to HOW you are trying
and what the errors are
Then we might be able to help

now you ARE replacing the opensource Nouveau driver with WHAT!!!
the nvidia rpm ( from the repo )?
or the Nvidia.run ?

you might want to read the GUIDE on the fedoraforum
http://www.forums.fedoraforum.org/sh...d.php?t=280750

and the F22 Development Forum

this is what i did :

Code:

downloaded .run from nvidias site (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.47.run)

su -
init 3
cd /home/ville/Down*
./NVIDIA*
accepted licence
build fails (failed to build kernel module)

here is nvidia build log :

so the .run

i take it you did not uninstall the nouveau driver
then rebuild the BOOT intred image ( WITHOUT the nouveau driver in it )

install gcc and all it's needed tools like autotools

Code:

su -
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" 
yum install kernel-devel

the .run
REQUIRES a ton of EXTRA steps
and i do mean a TON
and you will ALSO have to reinstall the .run for EVERY!!! "kernel" and "xorg/x11" and "mesa" update

fedora really nolonger has a "init 3" or a init 1 or 5

but you can simulate that by putting a 3 on the end of the kernel bootline in the grub2 config file

i would USE the already built rpm that is in the rpmfusion repo

as per the guide on the fedoraforum

now

if like me and you have been using the .run driver for the last 10 years
and have been doing all the needed EXTRA steps for many years

then the .run driver is not a issue

but for NEW people
use the provided rpm's

but for the .run

1) BLACKLIST the "nouveau" driver, and uninstall it
2) rebuild the boot image once the nouveau driver is uninstalled and blacklisted
3) make sure gcc and autotools and the kernel source are installed
4) do a TEXT only boot
( edit the grub 2 boot line for that , add a 3 )
cd to the nvidia .run ( i place it on "/" )
then run it

Code:

cd /to/the/location/of/the/driver
sh *.run

agree to everything ( yes and accept)using the ncures text gui interface
( using the arrow keys and <enter> )
5) when done type in "reboot "

Hi,

Kernel 4.04 (FC22) is broken with the standard NVIDIA proprietary driver. You should attempt to patch the "NVIDIA*.run" file. Many people have reported the below patch working, however I still get the error "patch: **** malformed patch at line 4: unsigned long cr0 = read_cr0();
