Nvidia video driver not compatible with ABI version 7 of X server 1.7.99
Fedora 13
Kernel 2.6.33 (x86_64) xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.99.902-3.20100319.fc13 (x86_64) AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 5000+ NVIDIA GPU GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.15-pkg2.run Just updated driver from NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run. The previous installer failed to the build kernel module because kernels>2.6.31 placed files required by the installer to determine kernel version in a different directory. Also, one procedure call was missing an input parameter. Downloaded and applied a patch to fix this. Was then able to build the kernel module. However, was unable to start X with the following info output to /var/log/Xorg.0.log: Code:
================ WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING ================ Code:

This is only a work around and Xorg.0.log is showing problems with RANDR. Code:

I think all the latest software is causing you problems. I would not upgrade to Xorg 1.7 since the Gentoo community saids it has problems. Also I would not upgrade the kernel and the nVidia drivers any further than what the Gentoo community states as stable. Developers lies about their program being stable. It is best to not upgrade when the latest version will not fix the problem. Usually, upgrading causes problems than it helps. I suggest downgrade, so software incompatibilities are less of a problem. If you are not the one that upgraded to these versions and Fedora 13 has these programs installed, then downgrade Fedora.

Hi Electro,
I completely agree that the bleeding edge software is truly bleeding. I also have a very reliable/stable FC12 and have made my data accessible to both versions. I like to play with the new stuff for my own enjoyment, and to get an idea of what's coming. I posted this info for the fool-hearty, like myself, who like to play on the brink of disaster. Thanks for the reply. Nice to know someone is reading my stuff. BTW, I am unsure as to how to handle the disposition of this thread. I'm not looking for an answer and, since I'm playing with unreleased software, I can't really say that a problem has been solved. Any ideas? Cheers, Lou |
Fine, probably when you try upgrading, it did not require you to upgrade the libraries that X11 uses to the latest or the nVidia driver is incompatible with Xorg 1.7.

Hi Electro,
As far as Xorg goes, I've got all the latest that Fedora Rawhide has to offer. Nvidia claims to support this stuff but apparently there are still some bugs to be worked out. Can't wait to see what crops up when bump to Xorg 1.8. Any idea as to how I get this thread closed. Think its been pretty much beat to death now. Cheers, Lou |
