I know that the nvidia driver is proprietary software.
Neither F22 nor F23 will boot on my laptop with kernels from the last
week or so and the latest nvidia driver. When I attempt these
kernel/driver combinations, it stops on the console screen which then
begins flashing about once per second. My laptop boots normally if I
use the nouveau driver.
Does anyone know the cause or a work around for this situation ?
I'm FAR from an expert, but my GUESS would be that the Nvidia driver
doesn't yet support the newest kernels. One would hope that they will
catch up (soon), so I think either using the last kernel with which it
works, or suffer with Nouveau for a while, until they catch up.
