My notebook ( Dell ) has the Nvidia video controller NVS 130. I searched
on Nvidia web site and there is no driver for this particular one so I
tried the one for NVS50 ( NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.07-pkg1.run )and the
next one NVS 280, IIRC ( NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.82-pkg1.run).
The first one complained that my FC10 is using Xen kernel but is is
really not. I guess that driver is old then it may confuse some new code
of the kernel with Xen code. So I tried the 177 driver. It installed
successfully but then I started having problem with my notebook : it may
hang at any time from 0 to 5,6 times a day.
I am not so sure if this is the FC10 problem or the Nvidia problem. I
did have FC8 with NVidia driver on this notebook before and it worked
just fine until I reinstalled it with FC10 and the newer nvidia driver.
Unfortunately, I do not remember which version of Nvidia driver I used
before.
Anybody experiences any similar problem ?
Thanks,
Vu
