Fedora15 system with NVIDIA graphics card driver

NVIDIA's graphics driver has been installed on Fedora15 recently, causing a lot of trouble. Now we have recorded it for future reference. First, you must turn off the graphic interface to install the video card. Otherwise, an error is always prompted: You can only switch to the character interface with Ctrl + Alt + F1/F2, but the graphic interface is still not turned off. Use su to enter the Administrator permission, enter "init3", and then enter the character interface. Next, I started to install the latest one.

NVIDIA's graphics card driver has been installed on Fedora 15 recently, causing a lot of trouble. Now we have recorded it for future reference.

First, you must turn off the graphic interface to install the video card. Otherwise, an error is always prompted:

UseCtrl + Alt + F1/F2You can only switch to the character interface, but the graphic interface is still not turned off. Then use su to enter the Administrator permission and enter"Init 3And then enter the character interface.

Next, I started to install, before you have downloaded the latest NVIDIA graphics driver, I am devdriver_4.20.linux_32_285.05.23.run, the URL is http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-41,

Then enter"Sh devdriver_4.20.linux_32_285.05.23.run", The result is displayed"ERROR: The Nouveau kernel driver is currently in use by your system. This
Driver is incompatible with the NVIDIA driver ......" Errors like this mean that the Nouveau driver is uninstalled.

Nouveau is an open source 3D driver developed by a third party for NVIDIA graphics cards, and has not been recognized and supported by NVIDIA. Although Nouveau Gallium3D is far from comparable to the NVIDIA official private driver in terms of Game speed, it makes it easier for Linux to cope with a variety of complex NVIDIA graphics environments, after the system is installed, users can access the desktop and enjoy good display. Therefore, many Linux distributions are integrated with the Nouveau driver by default, which is installed by default when NVIDIA graphics card is used.When installing the NVIDIA official private driver, Nouveau becomes an obstacle. If Nouveau is not killed, an error is always reported, as shown in the preceding figure. However, it is very difficult to uninstall Nouveau. Therefore, the Nouveau blacklist is adopted.
