I recently installed Fedora core 3.
I had a Geforce 2 MX, and got the latest nvidia driver to work fine after removing mesa.
I decided to upgrade my video card to get better FPS in counter-strike. I purchased a NVidia Geforce FX since I thought that would make the upgrade simple. Since the nvidia driver is supposed to be unified I figured I could just remove the old card and put the new one in and it would work. Things didn't turn out to be that simple.
X hangs at a black screen when I try startx. First I tried removing and then reinstalling the drivers, then I tried the various fixes listed in the forums here. No luck so far.
I tried the older driver, the old patched driver, downgrading the kernel to 2.6.9, uprading the kernel to 2.6.10, playing with the config files, and the bios settings and so far nothing really seems to effect it at all.
It seems to hang right after loading GLX.
The nv driver loads fine, so I know the card is ok.
Any help would be much appreciated.
