FC6: nVidia installed but resolution can't change
I was able to install the nVidia driver on Fedora Core 6, a clean install...
yum kmod-nvidia... It installed w/o any error and I could see the Logo when I restarted X and when I did glxinfo|grep direct... It said Direct X was rendering. However when I went to change to resolution there was no other resoultion to change to and it was stuck at 800 by 600. I VIed /etc/X11/xorg.conf and decided to change nVidia to nv, however when I do that the driver doesn't work and grep direct outputs errors. I was wondering what I should do b/c I've been using linux for all of two months I'm pretty much a newb... btw here is my xorg.conf Quote:

Try adding
Code:
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" |
Thanx this helped me out a lot... I can't help but think something didn't go down right during the install... and I can't get Desktop-Effects to work... I get this error when I try running it from the terminal...

For the desktop effects to work, you need to install nvidia 9626 drivers with AIGLX support available at livna-testing repo.
See livna for more info http://rpm.livna.org |
