Comment 1 Hoyt Duff 2013-01-31 03:33:15 CET

Just to see how it might work, I uninstalled all the nvidia RPMs and attempted to install the  NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.32.run driver from nVidia. It also failed, complaining about the nouveau driver having invoked kernel modesetting from the initrd  and refused to install.
