Fedora Core 5 Test 2 :
Thanks to a Livna Maintainer, we worked out the Nvidia problem on kernel-2.6.15-1.1881_FC5. The packages can be found here.(ATI packages are available too, but I didn't test them)
These are our procedures:
I downloaded the following packages to my home directory "chitlesh":
* nvidia-kmod-1.0.8178-0.lvn.3.2.6.15_1.1881_FC5.src.rpm
* xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1.0.8178-0.lvn.5.i386.rpm
As root:
# yum install fedora-rpmdevtools
Then as user:
$ fedora-buildrpmtree
$ rpmbuild --rebuild
nvidia-kmod-1.0.8178-0.lvn.3.2.6.15_1.1881_FC5.src.rpm --target i686
$ cp /home/chitlesh/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/kmod-nvidia-*.rpm /home/chitlesh
As root again
# su -m
# rpm -ivh *rpm
# kwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf&
# /usr/sbin/nvidia-config-display enable
Replaced these two lines
ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
by
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
Reboot.
Big thanks to that Livna Maintainer :) Actually I was his guinea-pig :)
UPDATE (09 Feb 2006): A new version of the nvidia packages has been uploaded that fixes some bugs.
UPDATE (25 March 2006): Links fixed. Packages moved to livna.

$ rpmbuild --rebuild nvidia-kmod-1.0.8178-0.lvn.3.2.6.15_1.1881_FC5.src.rpm
should be changed by
$ rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686 nvidia-kmod-1.0.8178-0.lvn.3.2.6.15_1.1881_FC5.src.rpm
Instead of:
$ cp /home/chitlesh/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/*.rpm /home/chitlesh
# su -m
# rpm -ivh *rpm
Do
yum localinstall /path/of/rpms/packagename

ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
by

ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
Do this command:
nvidia-xconfig
Succesfully tested on Rawhide
Oops i forgot --rebuild --target=i686

Does that mean that ati and nvidia drivers are working with X.Org 7.0, the modules based version?
I thought they are incompatible...
Yes, they work (at least Nvidia version).
The problem was old spec were not compatible with the modular X.org (some of them still using /usr/X11R6 instead of /usr path) so one of Livna maintainer write new packages from scratch.
Changes are new definition of nvidia-kmod and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.
Yes it is. I tested Nvidia and it's working fine for me.:)
I followed the instructions, but changed it for my environment for x86_64. There are a few warnings during the compile, but the RPMs are created an I can install.
Once installed and X starts, I get a blank screen and then the monitor shuts down. I've looked at the Xorg log files and there aren't any errors...
I'm using FC5 test2 with the latest yum update.
Any ideas?
Can you send me your /etc/X11/xorg.conf at chitlesh AT fedoraproject DOT org ?
Why does the usual method of running the .run pacakge for the driver using the sh *.run command to install the driver once you've exited X not work? It worked with absolutely no issued in FC4, has some change been made? Sorry for the questions, I'm pretty new to fedora.
Hello CuriousYellow,
This is not meant for Fedora Core 4. Since Fedora Core 5 Test * has undergone some major changes, the Nvidia driver is not compatible with Xorg 7.0 modular.
But for the next stable Fedora Core 5, if Nvidia comes up with an update, then things will be easier and different :)
No dice when I tried it:
1) Stock fc5 Test 2 DVD.
2) All rpms off the CD no updates (it was not specified to do so here, and I a previous install got borked when I ran yum update, so stock install I remained at..)
3) Appeared to have followed instructions here, failed because there was a third RPM needed from the download site.
4) rpm -ivh all 3 rpms; I had kernel mismatch dep conflicts, which I could have solved, but the SECOND conflict was looking for 'nvidia-common' rpm which does not exist. I searched Google for FC5 nvidia-common, and got one problem report in Flemish which I could not read well enough (but there was not much there to it).
I thank the author for posting their efforts which helped some folks. This is my first time installing Nvidia drivers on a test release (I've been using RH geez since RH5.2). I will try again on the FC5-T3 DVD image, and if that fails for me I'll have to resort to FC4. The point of this exercise is to get a modern MythTV box running (I already have success reports of Myth on FC5 so I'm not worried about that).
If ANYONE has more suggestions for this blog post, it would be much appreciated. This ranks high in Google so I am sure more people will check in...
your problem here say that you are NOT following my howto properly.
4) rpm -ivh all 3 rpms;
before rpm -ivh all 3 rpms; you need to rebuild the kernel module yourself:
I quote again:

I get this error when trying to install kmod-nvidia:
[root@Spot ~]# rpm -ivh kmod-nvidia-1.0.8178-0.lvn.3.2.6.15_1.1977_FC5.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
nvidia-kmod-common = 1.0.8178 is needed by kmod-nvidia-1.0.8178-0.lvn.3.2.6.15_1.1977_FC5.i686
Any ideas?

You need to install the package
kmod-nvidia-1.0.8178-0.lvn.3.2.6.15_1.1977_FC5.i686.rpm together with
the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia package, e.g. something like list:
rpm -ivh kmod-nvidia-1.0.8178-0.lvn.3.2.6.15_1.1977_FC5.i686.rpm xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1.0.8178-0.lvn.5.i386.rpm
Thanks, Chitlesh.
Unfortunately, I'm now getting this error:
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1991_FC5/extra/nvidia/nvidia.ko): No such device
Does that mean I have to use a different driver? My card is pretty old--a GeForce 2.
Thanks again.

Ive described how to remedy this here
http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/365
Things have changed lately with the new 2.6.15-1.1991_FC5.
thanks so much for your efforts in getting the nVidia driver working and posting your results, it is greatly appreciated, and now for what I think is a complete stupid question ... yet being new to the linux world ... i just installed FC5 test 3 so my kernel is at 2.6.15_1.1991 ... i can still use the nvidia-kmod...rpm I downloaded? or do I need an updated one? I think the comments have create some confusion ... at least for me? sorry for being a dunce, i'm trying to get this stuff ....
you can always use the ones you have downloaded. but sometimes on the site they might be updated. nevertheless each time you have updated your kernel you will need to rebuild the rpms as i redescribed on my blog post.
the learning process never ends ... :)
this link has a howto on installing the nvidia drivers and a patch for them. Have you tried using this method?
I have, and it installs fine, but once I try and use my modified xorg.conf (can provide if necessary) then I get a message saying "module nvidia not found" when I attempt to start X. I will give it another go and update you if you wish.
hello curious yellow,
no i havent yet look at it
but concerning to error message
Ive described how to remedy this here
http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/365
Hi, a locate nvidia.ko command shows that it is already present in /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1969_FC5/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
It also says
couldn't open RGB_DB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb
Any advice?
Please tell me what command did you execute so that I can troubleshoot it?
When does the error message show up?
the other nvidia.ko is that of the kernel 2.6.15-1.1969_FC5
you have that nvidia.ko because you have installed nvidia drivers on that kernel :)
I see, I think that was the kernel I was using if I'm not mistaken.
As for the command, all I did was install nvidia using the instructions on the nvidia forums (nvnews i think), which seemed to be ok. I then configured my xorg.conf and issued a startx command which resulted in the error message.
Anyway, I don't think I'll bother with FC5 anymore as I have gone over to Ubuntu 5.10 which seemes to work like a dream! :)
Sorry :(
And this solution is no longer useful, as the RPMs have been removed from the
www.leemhuis.info link listed. And they're not on Livna. Be patient, indeed.
I get the following error:
rpm -ivh *.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:kmod-nvidia-smp ########################################### [ 33%]
2:xorg-x11-drv-nvidia ########################################### [ 67%]

any suggestions ?

please update your kernel to http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC5/RPMS.kernel/
then install vmware.
The kernel 2.6.15-1.2054.FC5 do not allow compilation of non-gpl modules
I'm trying the method you descibe here, and I keep getting an error message as follows:
@localhost tmp]$ rpmbuild --rebuild nvidia-kmod-1.0.8762-1.2.6.16_1.2122_FC5.src.rpm --target i686

Is it worth it to go thru the tarball method, or is there something I can do with this other than wait for the proper files to become available again?
You should use
--define 'kvariants foo'
foo="" for UP-kernel
smp for SMP-kernel

The Fedora Project announces the second release of the Fedora Core 5 development cycle, available for the i386, x86_64, and PPC/PPC64 architectures. After several weeks of delay, the second development release of Fedora Core 5 was finally made available on January 16th. This is a much anticipated version not only will this be Fedora's first new release after switching to a longer, 9 month release cycle, it is likely that much of the distribution's current core will form the basis of the upcoming release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Nvidia driver would not work properly without a driver patch.
