anyone have good results getting Nvidia GTX 560 Ti running SLI Fedora?


im getting tired of win7 acting up on my gaming rig. its an i7 with 32G ram and a pair of 560Ti's. When Fedora 18 was in beta and shortly out of beta I attempted running it on my game rig. Sadly SLI never worked for one reason or an other.

So im looking around on google to see what I can find about Fedora 19 and those cards running in SLI. not much luck out there to be found. for the most part google wants to ignore my "fedora 19" and provide info about Ubuntu or MS Windows.

Thus i come here asking if any of the users here have had good luck getting SLI working under Fedora with this card. I have a few steam games and I do play WoW (world of warcraft) and would like to be able to play via wine64 instead of keeping win7 in my LAN.

what driver were you using ?
fedora ships with the nouveau driver installed and used by default
to use the NVIDIA.run driver you need to blacklist the nouveau driver and rebuild the boot image FIRST

hmm not sure, but i believe the issue was getting the nouveau drivers to go away and then getting the then current nvidia.run to work in SLI. i was able to get it to run on 1 card, but it refused to function properly with both cards in SLI mode.

that was a long time ago , thus im asking specifically about anyone running Nvidia SLI in fedora 19 now.

Lightbulb You must have the source code for your kernel installed for compilation to work..
