nvidia driver and Fedora Core 2

j0Vian · 11-15-2004, 04:59 PM

I just installed the lastest nvidia driver and now i have 2 xorg.conf files and open gl still wont load. One file is xorg.conf and the other is xorg.conf~. I can remove the one with the ~ but it just comes back. It seems to be read only also, unlike the xorg.conf. I went in and changed the "nv" to "nvidia" like you are supposed to in xorg.conf. But the xorg.conf~ wont let me do anything to it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

login as the root user. The root user has access to any file.

You can also type

su

in a terminal to become the SuperUser for a period of time. Put the root password in after typing this command. This you will be able to edit the file

i am logged in as root.
the xorg.conf file can be edited.
the xorg.conf~ file cannot.
i imagine there is a conflict somewhere. if i try to remove the xorg.conf~ file, it just comes back.
thank you for your reply.
