Hello all,
Using the 1975 smp kernel on FC5T3 with the proprietary nvidia driver (installed using the instructions here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-February/msg00726.html )
The nvidia module compiles and installs fine, however when X starts, it runs for a bit, then the screen becomes garbled. A few seconds later the machine locks up.
Has anyone else seen this?

Make sure you have an up to date livna srpm, containing the latest Nvidia patch. There's a number of issues which were fixed.
I followed the instructions at that page.
Downloaded the files from http://www.leemhuis.info/files/fedorarpms/MISC.lvn/graphics/
Did the: rpmbuild --rebuild --target `uname -m` nvidia-kmod-*.src.rpm
I then installed xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1.0.8178-0.lvn.5.i386.rpm and kmod-nvidia-1.0.8178-0.lvn.3.2.6.15_1.1969_FC5.i686.rpm
I noticed the xorg.conf file was already modified by these RPMs so I started X. The screen went all grey and then nothing.
Does anyone have instructions for FC5 that work?

did you look at the nvidia forums? (that's usually a better place to discuss their driver anyway)
