Fedora Hardware :: Graphics Card - Install Proper Drivers First?

Jan 29, 2010

I want to install a new graphics card, Nvidia Geforce 9400 GT, into my system running Fedora 12, x86_64.

* Should I install the hardware into the system first?
* Or should I download the proper drivers and install them first, before hardware?
* Do I need to disable or remove drivers for my integrated graphics card (Integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE graphics) before I do anything?

General :: Install The Drivers For Nvidia Graphics Card?

Jun 8, 2011

I'm trying to install the drivers for my nvidia graphics card. I downloaded the shell script from the nvidia website. However, there's something peculiar going on. When I execute the shell script it says it cannot find my kernel headers, yet I can verify that my /usr/include/linux/kernel.h does exist. I have selinux on, but just installed os with it on, so contexts are fresh. Checked them as well. After doing some research I found something out. When I run a 'uname -a' I get this.

Code:
Linux ariel 2.6.18-194.el5PAE #1 SMP Fri Apr 2 15:37:44 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Yet when I ran 'yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers' they installed the following versions.
Code:
kernel-headers-2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.i386
kernel-devel-2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.i686
Shouldn't they be

[Code]...

I see that the error in the nvidia shell script can't locate the header files for the RUNNING kernel version which makes sense. Why would yum install that version instead of the one in 'uname -a'? Or am I misunderstanding something?

Fedora Hardware :: Enable The Gnome Shell With An AMD 6950 Graphics Card And The Default 15 Drivers?

May 25, 2011

how to enable the Gnome Shell with an AMD 6950 graphics card and the default Fedora 15 drivers? I may try the AMD Catalyst proprietary drivers but from history those usually lag behind the Fedora versions. I also read some people had issues with the current AMD Catalyst drivers in the Catalyst guide thread.

Also, the AMD 6950 graphics card fan is at full speed all the time in Fedora 15. I do believe you can with the Catalyst drivers using aticonfig but was wondering about the default Fedora 15 drivers?

Ubuntu :: Hardware - Unable To Get The Drivers For My Graphics Card

Feb 14, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10, and it seems I'm unable to get the drivers for my graphics card. I know they exist, as I've downloaded them before (I switched back to Windows for a short period. Bad idea there. :/), and I know they work fine, but when I go to "System > Administration > Hardware Drivers" (where I've always gotten them from), they aren't there.

The only difference between this install and my old one, is that I used a USB drive to install, instead of a disk (I had run out).

Although I did have to change to boot order in the BIOS to get it to boot into the drive, I don't think that's the issue.

Ubuntu :: Error While Installing Graphics Card Drivers

Feb 13, 2011

Before we start, I wanted to say I noticed the "Ubuntu cannot fix or improve these drivers." Please read anyways.

I've tried to activate the "ATI/AMD Proprietary FGLRX graphics driver" from the System>Administration>Additional drivers and it has an error halfway through the process.

I use an ATI/AMD Radeon HD 5770 in my computer (if that helps), and Ubuntu is on my USB(8GB).

The error message I receive (after awhile of waiting) is :

SystemError: installArchives() failed

How to install this Nvidia Geforce 8800 driver. I've been told that the installation files I got will do everything - it doesn't. I've been told about some kind of xorg.conf file that doesn't exist- xorg.conf-vesa does though, I assume that's vesa drivers and theres something else for other drivers.

Ubuntu :: Installed Most Recent Drivers For Graphics Card Killed System / Fix It?

Mar 7, 2010

Completely new to Ubuntu, basically never used anything but Windows before, hadn't even had a chance to properly test out Ubuntu before I broke it. So, sorry if this question is very easy...or if I'm posting it in the wrong place...

Anyway, I cleverly installed the most recent drivers for my graphics card, and it killed Ubuntu - it won't start now. This happens on Windows, too, but Windows will System Restore for me. How might I fix this in Ubuntu?

I can choose Ubuntu from the grub menu, but then the screen goes blank, the fan on my computer goes into overdrive, and nothing happens.

Am currently running my Karmic Koala from LiveCD...

Fedora Hardware :: Install Nvidia Drivers For 8800 Card?

Jul 8, 2010

A few years back I gave linux a try. It was fun but eventually I dropped it because simple tasks like installing software were always a practice in goose hunting and copy/paste command marathons. I am trying again to get fedora up and going. Thinking many of the old methods would be cleaned up by now. I was trying to install nvidia drivers for my 8800 card.

I download the *.run file and it tells me I need to disable "X...etc" so I init 3 to the command prompt and run the *.run file there. Then the installer says.... "hey buddy.. you need gcc to make this work". ok.. I type init 5 to get back to the internet browser. So I search about google for a few moments and then find the yum command for getting gcc installed. Run the gcc and again... init 3 to get back to the command prompt and run the *.rn file for the nvidia drivers. This time the installer says... "hey man... you need the kernel source tree".

Red Hat / Fedora :: Unable To Install PCI Wireless Card Drivers In CentOS

Feb 15, 2011

installing the PCI wireless card drivers in CentOS linux. I have "Sabrent PCI-G802 PCI Wireless Card - 54Mbps, 802.11g". I tried looking in google and tried multiple ways to install the driver but failed , I have followed the instructions given in the link i.e.
performed the following steps .....

1.# tar xvzf package.tar.gz (or tar xvjf package.tar.bz2)
2.# cd package
3.# ./configure
4.# make
5.# make install

I have the original cd (this cd has linux drivers also) which came with the PCI card but its not a plug and play cd like the MS windows, the cd drive is not reading the disk (But i can open it in windows 7). I copied the installation files from the cd to usb drive on my windows 7 PC and copied them on to the CentOS /home/user directory and performed the above mentioned steps. I was successful in getting till the second step. when i did the step 3 the system is asking some thing about

"Linux kernel source directory [/usr/src/2.6.18-92.el5PAE-i386]: Configure"

I just pressed the enter button and it went to the next message which is

"Linux source tree 'Configure' is incomplete or missing!" Configuration failed

OpenSUSE Install :: Acpi Better / Card Went To Legacy What Version Still Has Ati Drivers For Card

Dec 6, 2009

i have a little experience with ubuntu but i have had bugs that are not resolvable at this time in ubuntu. so instead of giving wild bill back my pc i am looking for a new distro. my concerns with ubuntu revolve around acpi. no fan control and high temp. the 2nd problem that is almost overlookable is the ata1 softreset error. it usually is no problem but occasionally have to do manual fsck to fix. so heres my laptop specs. toshiba a305d-s6848. amd turion x2 ati x1250 integrated. 3gb ram. 500gb hd vista and ubuntu 9.04 dual boot grub with 100gb ubuntu and the rest vista. so q1= what suse version would be best?

q2= is suse's acpi better? ubuntu runs all features but fan control
q3= is suse as easy to install? or harder
q4= ati graphics i know for my card went to legacy what version still has the ati drivers for my card
q5= is suse easier or harder to work with and get everything working.

i know no linux is or opsys is perfect. im just looking for one that is stable and works the pc correctly. i know its a big thing to ask. i know no one can tell me that. but just looking for suggestions. im thinking of downloading suse and does all the downloads support live sessions.

Red Hat / Fedora :: 12 External Hard Drive - Install Video Card Drivers Get Black Screen

Sep 17, 2010

i installed Fedora 12 on an external hard drive. Everything went fine with the installation and it was working perfectly until i tried to install my video card drivers. I have done this many times before and it has worked. I have an ATI card. Anyway after installing the driver i rebooted and now when it starts it show the loading bar on the bottom but then nothing happens its just a black screen!. The worst part is that when i go into windows and my external is plugged in windows wont read it and i have very valuable data on it. I go into disk management and it shows up but windows says that its empty. which is obviously not true because Fedora starts to boot. I really just want Fedora off my external and for windows to read my external with all the files still on it. Is there a way to get by that blank screen?

OpenSUSE Install :: Restoring Default Graphics Drivers ?

Booting into safe mode doesn't give me a GUI.

I want to try to reinstall the ATI proprietary drivers eventually. I have them on the hard drive, but I have had no luck installing them using the CLI so far.

Fedora :: F15 Freezes On Different Hardware And Graphics Drivers?

Jul 3, 2011

My workplace is conducting a pilot of fedora15 for adoption as our SOE desktop. We've installed on 3 desktops and two laptops, and are experiencing an intermittent lock-up on each platform. In all cases so far over our two week trial, whilst users are performing routine work on the gnome desktop (e.g. email, web browsing, etc), the screen will freeze, and the mouse/keyboard appear to be inoperable, so it is impossible to go to a virtual desktop, etc. Only a hard reboot brings the PC back, and there are no logs, core dumps, etc.

We've been trying to eliminate sources, and have seen the fault on the following combinations:

* AMD/Intel
* A variety of graphics hardware (e.g. nvidia, intel 945)
* nvidia drivers (various versions), and nouveau
* Gnome 3 in normal and fallback mode
* rpms from the initial F15 release, and also after a full yum update (last week).

We have not been able to correlate the lock-up with particular usage patterns or system load. Sometimes, the desktop will be usable for a day or more, and other times, we may see three lockups in an hour.

There is a bug on this matter:

[URL]

I am raising the matter here to see, because I am puzzled as to why we are experiencing it on all platforms, and yet it does not seem to be so prevalent in the wider community.
