Hello, I just installed Fedora Core 4 (FC4) and I'm having trouble getting the binary nvidia driver working on my Dell Inspiron 8500 (with 1920x1200 resolution). I've installed the driver without trouble in FC1-FC3.
I went to init 3, installed the driver, ran then added '/sbin/modprobe nvidia' to rc.local, removed rhgb from the grub.conf to bypass the udev problem (does that still exist in FC4?) and tried configuring my xorg.conf based on examples I found on the web.
When I try to start 'x' the nvidia splash screen shows for about a second then crashes.
I get this error...don't know if it means anything:
Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
Does anyone have this working on a Dell Inspiron 8500 with 1920x1200 resolution? Could you send me an example xorg.conf?
Thank You!
