Description Alejandro Vargas 2013-03-01 14:37:47 CET

Description of problem:

Can't use nvidia propietary driver in X11. The module is loaded but some program thinks it isn't and swithcs to nouveau.

How reproducible:

Just install Mageia 3 (cauldron) with a nvidia card.

Solution:

# cd /lib/modules/3.8.0-desktop-3.mga3/dkms-binary/drivers/char/drm
# ln -s nvidia304.ko.xz nvidia.ko.xz
# depmod -a

This gets it working but a kernel update will brake X11 again. 




Reproducible:

Nope, the nvidia modules are ok, something else is broken in your setup as noted in #9216

My setup is a completely clean, fresh ans updated mageia 3. Just install, boot the system and the problem is there.

it has _nothing_ to do with the naming of the nvidia modules.
