Problem with video on Dell 5150 and Fedora 15
by Pat Swayne 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

I have been successfully using Fedora 13 and 14 on a Dell 5150 (with Nvidia Go5200 video card) for some time. I recently tried to upgrade to Fedora 15, and now video (after login) does not work. Fedora is the only OS, so I don't get the GRUB screen. How can I change runlevel, and what are some suggested changes to make. If I can't get it working, how can I go back to Fedora 14?

Yesterday I upgraded my laptop an ASUS N71Vseries. I am using kernel-2.6.35.14-95.fc14.x86_64 which was to upgraded to kernel-2.6.35.14-96.fc14.x86_64. With this upgrade kmod-nvidia was to be removed. After the upgrade my system would boot to a graphics screen. I was able to remove the new kernel and add back kmod-nvidia-2.6.35.14-95.fc14.x86_64-280.13-2.fc14.x86_64. After doing is I was finally able to bring my system all the way up.

I follow the tips on that site, but these not work. I realize that my trackpad it's a ALPS trackpad, and that is the big problem. In other distros, people have the same problem with this brand of trackpad. I'll keep searching for the solution, and if I found, I'll post here. Thank you Ron, for your help Regards

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a gnome 3 issue or something I did when I switched to F15/Gnome 3. I don't have any menu bar at the top of my XChat window. I can't go in a change any settings etc. Anyone seen this? Best, William

Hello everyone! I have problems with my wireless conection...when I want to watch a video online, download a torrent or download some files from internet, my conection goes down. I solve this turning of my wifi card and then ON, but the videos sometimes are not able to returt to the last poing and I have to watch them from the begining, for example. I have no idea what happens, but torrents or some files download at a 600 kb/s, and my conection is 3 mb...is too much, I don't know what the problem is, but I wanna fix it, otherwise I will have to return to windows, and I don't want it.. Plase help me! My wireless card: broadcom BCM 4311 GNU/Linux: Fedora 15 with gnome 3. Thank you a lot!
