Per Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 (edited) I have an nVidia graphics card, but am running unaccelerated X as the nVidia installer wants gcc4.1, and a couple of conflicts prevents me from upgrading from gcc4.0 at the moment. As I'm not running accelerated X I get a warning message from the monitor that it can't display the selected resolution. Prior to upgrading to X.org 7.1 (from X.org 6.9) I could fix that by pressing <CTRL>+<ALT>+<+ on the nmerical keypad>, but now nothing happens when I press that keyboard combination. It still complains about the same resolution. Looking at the output of top it seems that X (with KDE) is starting OK. The only changes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is the changed paths to the fonts.

scarecrow Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 The only solution should be ( if you cannot upgrade gcc to the current Cooker 4.1.1, that is) getting the kernel source rpm and rolling a kernel of your own ( rpm --rebuild kernel*.src.rpm ). Then you can install the stock nvidia driver on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
