I know this isn't proboly the place to be asking computer questions, but its worth a shot....



So I'm stepping back into the linux world... trying to dust off my Bash command skills.. for work

Got Fedora 10 installed on its own drive.. Gnome loads up with no problem.. until I install the nVidia drivers for my (2) 7600Gt's... x won't even think about loading after that.. I've modified the xorg.conf to be pointed to the current driver dir... 180.22 is the version i'm running.. with kernel 2.29 i think?

HELP!!!
 
sorry i dont have an answer, just had to say it blows my mind that anyone knows what the hell you are talking about lol, i know how to get to RCNT and thats about it lol.
 
lol like i said.... it was worth a shot..

i thought someone might be a hacker just like me.... i've got posts in the fedora forum so i should be able to get help..




its too cold and snowy to run the trucks and there all prepped for the long "sleep" of winter, so i have nothing better to do
 
The new default kernel doesn't fall back to selecting a correct PCI device for X86 if there are 2 or more active vid PCI devices with the nvidia binary drivers. Modify your x.org.conf so you have 2 BusID settings, something liek the below:

Identifier "radeon0"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen 0

Now that you have one display up, open a terminal and: sudo nvidia-settings

It'll open the nVidia display settings tool where you can fine tune your config and enable the second monitor and write the changes to your xorg.conf.

:)
 
I think i need to take some ritalin just to follow this conversation......
