This AM, 1/19/07 new 686 kernel from updates. Also new kmod-nvidia from livna. OK, we'll do that. Uh-uh. X won't start, "No screens found". Had to fall back to the nv driver to even post on here.
Anybody else seeing this, is there a solution?

Thanks, Ray

Don't say that! I'm updating now. Hope I can find my way back to this thread to let you know how it goes.

Hi there,
Same thing here, I have a GeForce4 MX 440 AGP8X, no longer supported by the current nVIDIA drivers(97XX).
check at the end of /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if it's your case too.

I had to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9631-pkg1.run from nVidia site.


Regards

LOL!

I have Nvidia gforce 6800, had all kinds of problems with two previous versions of kmod-nvidia and could not even install package.run from nvidia site. But yesterday I upgraded to 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6.x86_64 and issued command:

yum install kmod-nvidia

It installed the new kmod and X11 .drv, for the first time everything is PERFECT.

NOTE: I did not do this on top of previous kmod that upset menu items in root account, I have a compressed image of Fedora without any kmod-nvidia installed and tested it there, then made another image which is the copy I'm using now.

Completely the opposite story compared to all of you.

Yes, this turns out to be my OLD GForce card, no longer supported by nvidia. Thankfully, it's not really a problem, the 96xx stuff works great.
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-96xx-1.0.9631-5.lvn6
kmod-nvidia-96xx-1.0.9631-4.2.6.19_1.2895.fc6

Thanks Posterboy! That worked for me too. What exactly did we install?

Do you think
yum --enablerepo=livna update kmod-nvidia-96xx
will work after the next kernal update?
