Hi Dave,
the easiest way to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers on Fedora is
to use the RPM Fusion repositories.
The installation instructions for RPM Fusion are at
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration.
Once the configuration files are installed you can install the Nvidia
driver as root on the command line with:
yum install akmod-nvidia
Best,
Andreas

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think my issue is because I have a
QuadroFX1400 video card and I don’t have proper drivers - the generic ones just
won’t do it.
I have tried and failed miserably to install the proprietary drivers from
NVidea, so I’m not going to worry about it. I only use chimera to make
figures, and I can do that on my MAC easy enough.
If any of you have an easy to follow guide on disabling nouveau drivers I’d
appreciate it - but no worries if you don’t.
Thanks again
Dave

I take it you have the 32bit libraries installed. They are not normally

I suspect that you may have linked to the 64-bit libraries.

Hi all,
So, I know this probably isn’t the right place, but I’m certain most of you here have

Anyway - when running chimera - my computer constantly freezes. Obviously I’m
missing something. I’m not doing anything fancy - I use Zalman monitors
connected to generic video cards.
I can run coot fine - I don’t know about ccp4i (it seems to run, but I haven’t
challenged it in any > way).
Any thoughts on where I should start here?
Thanks
Dave
