errr. either i'm doing something wrong, or you have a wrong dependency in your spec files. yum always complains about missing dependency nvidia-kmod. this should be kmod-nvidia, shouldn't it? :-)

Try downloading the spec file again and rebuild.

Leigh, Thank you for this set of instructions. I have installed the nvidia driver under 2.6.33-1.fc13.i686.PAE (had to install kernel-PAE-devel instead of kernel-devel of course).

I tested it with second life and the frame rates are equal to the best I've seen.

Code:

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 6200/AGP/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 195.36.15
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 NVIDIA via Cg compiler

Does anyone know when the driver is available via rpmfusion? What is the reason that we need to use such a workaround to make the binary driver available?
Thanks for your work!

Greetings

F13 is only Beta, you'll have to wait till release to get the blob from rpmfusion, or if someone like Leigh makes an rpm before hand. I hear that sgfxi is handling fedora these days, don't know if h2 has checked out the 2.6.33 kernel yet though. I'm sort of happy being blobless, nouveau is working for what I need it to.

Missing nvidia-kmod-common ? :

Code:

 
kernel-2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.x86_64 
nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9400 GT]

error: Failed dependencies:
        nvidia-kmod-common >= 195.36.15 is needed by kmod-nvidia-2.6.33.1-19.fc13.x86_64-195.36.15-1.fc13.x86_64

Also, any particular reason for executing step 2 as non-root ?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You need to install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia & xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs at the same time as kmod-nvidia i.e one transaction .

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-nvidia  --provides
nvidia-kmod-common = 195.36.15
nvidia-x11-drv = 195.36.15-1.fc13
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-newest = 195.36.15-101
libglx.so()(64bit)  
nvidia_drv.so()(64bit)  
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia = 195.36.15-1.fc13
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia(x86-64) = 195.36.15-1.fc13
[root@localhost ~]#

It's bad practice to build anything as root .

Very good. Thank you for quick reply.
Any tips on how to deal with the Nvidia virtualization bug described here (besides disabling virtualizatin in BIOS):

Code:

[   609.861] (EE) Apr 03 16:52:32 NVIDIA(0): WAIT: (E, 0, 0x887d, 0)

Do you have a intel chipset ?

Adding iommu=soft at the end of /boot/grub/grub.conf solved my problem.

Yep. That was it. Thanks a lot.
Wonder if this is basically the same as disabling VT-d in BIOS

Worked great for me with the 2.6.33.2-35 from koji and a Quadro NVS 160M once I added the iommu=soft option.

Many thanks Leigh. Perhaps add info about the iommu=soft option to the begining of the guide as I'm sure there will be many people downloading the beta once it comes out and running into this problem?

Cheers
M.
