[Addictedyfi]

Linux + nVidia = Biggest OS

[carlotto1987]

poor hardware?

0:01 if you're stuck click it it should work.

the nvidia drivers were a hell to install for me.. good luck :S

[UbuntuLee]

Yes. Linux + Nvidia = ass

[cobrafazea]

Linux + Intel = Bigger ass :P

[UbuntuLee]

Not really. Intel has better drivers and they all work out of the box due to them being opensource.

[ZerakeCss94]

linux + ati = biggest ass

[meltingfaces10]

correction: linux + fglrx, the radeon and radeonhd drivers work very well

It is easy to install them just add the rpmfusion repository and install them via yum

su -c 'yum install kmod-nvidia'

or

su -c'yum install akmod-nvidia'

You can read that at the fedoraunity side

so have fun with it :)

This is how I installed my nvidia drivers from the nvidia website:

Reboot, then press 'p' reboot process, type in your password if your bootloader has one. Then press 'a'. Then I typed in 'init 3' at the end of the line, and pressed enter. Log in as 'root' using 'su -'then run your drivers. I usually just put the drivers in my home directory and name them something simple like 'nvidia.run' so it's easy to remember since I dont have a gui to assist. Then reboot after install.

This is to complicated(and leads to issues at some systems) the rpm-fusion directory and the kmods make it much easier and safer. And you get all updates for them. :)

Hi!

Its breathtaking...

Its a pity i cant view it on my laptop...

HOW can you run plymouth on nvidia?? i noticed you have an nvidia card!!

Nvidia drivers dont support plymouth startup! Please if you can help me not to see the ugly blue and white bars instead of plymouth i would be more than grateful!

[vineuser]

At first, add additional plymouth themes type:

$ su -

# yum install plymouth-plugin-{fade-in,pulse­r,spinfinity}

Now you can try Solar theme like this.

$ su -

# plymouth-set-default-plugin solar

# /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth­-update-initrd

And, change the modesetting option of the kernel that Fedora 10 uses.

$ su -

# gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf

[vineuser]

You must add your framebuffer resolution at the end of the kernel line. Something like this:

title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)

root (hd0,9)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc1­0.i686 ro root=UUID=a61c8338-e373-4389-a­e00-32942185f7c2 rhgb quiet vga=792

initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10­.i686.img

vga=792 stands for 1024x768 resolution with 24-bit colours.
