Well Ed,
I have reinstalled all fedora xorg and X11 packages, made sure there is no trace of
nvidia rpmfsion packages,
even reinstalled latest kernel.
It has not resolved the problem.
But, I saw this info in manpage nouveau(4)
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The nouveau driver supports PCI, PCI-Express and AGP video cards based on the
following NVIDIA chips:
RIVA TNT NV4
RIVA TNT2 NV5
GeForce 256, QUADRO NV10
GeForce2, QUADRO2 NV11 & NV15
GeForce3, QUADRO DCC NV20
nForce, nForce2 NV1A, NV1F
GeForce4, QUADRO4 NV17, NV18, NV25, NV28
GeForce FX, QUADRO FX NV30, NV31, NV34, NV35, NV36, NV37, NV38
GeForce 6XXX NV40, NV41, NV43, NV44, NV45, C51
GeForce 7XXX G70, G71, G72, G73
My card does not seem to fit any of the supported cards listed. lspci shows my card to
be:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G98M [Quadro NVS 160M]
So, I am wondering how nouveau was used in previous runs, as I showed you in one xorg log
file.
I believe it is supported. From
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames/
NV17 GeForce4 MX 420, MX 440, MX 440-SE (AGP 4x), MX 460
Quadro4 500 XGL, 550 XGL, Quadro NVS (100, 200) Your card is in the 100 series.
NV18 GeForce4 MX 440-SE (AGP 8x), MX 440-8x, MX 4000, 420 Go, 440 Go, 460 Go, GeForce
PCX 4300
Quadro4 380 XGL, 580 XGL, Quadro NVS (50, 280, 400)
At this point, if I were you, I'd create a bootable LIVE USB or a LIVE CD from the F20
release and boot it and see if it works.
Also, if you look at some of the documentation for nouveau you'd find that the the drm
module needs to be loaded first before it is possible to load the nouveau module.
