The RPM way of maintaining the NVidia driver nowadays can be found at http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia . This is preferable to the DKMS way that RPMforge provides. | The RPM way of maintaining the NVidia driver nowadays can be found at http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia .

See [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=881549] and [http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.com/] | |||
To test the nvidia driver: blacklist the nouveau and intel graphic modules, disable kernel mode-setting, and boot to runlevel 3 - all via the following kernel command line args: | |||
nouveau.disable=1 intel.disable=1 nomodeset 3 <--append this to grub kernel line | |||
Then run nvidia's xorg creation tool (nvidia-xconfig). Give X a try and see if it works. | |||
If that wont work, black list nouveau and nvidia, and try the intel module (delete the xorg.conf made by nvidia-xconfig): | |||
nouveau.disable=1 nomodeset 3 <-- append this to grub kernel line | |||
