Hi
You may have the same problem that I had - I didn't know of a patch that
should be applied to the NVIDIA drivers when used on a devfs box.
I am in 'cut and paste' here, if you will try this out:
There are two different way to do it in those mails.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Here is how I do it on a fresh install of Cooker:
First I have downloaded the diff mentioned in this mail:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg41917.html
Then I use the file NVIDIA_kernel.spec mentioned in this mail:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg42176.html
In /usr/src/RPMS/SOURCES/ I have the diff file the 'NVIDIA-kernel-tgz' and
the kernel-spe.
I do #chown root:root N*
I do #rpm -bb NVIDIA_kernel.spec
I do # rpm -ivh 'the shit that comes out of above'
I do # rpm -ivh 'GLX-whatever'
I edit XF86Config-4 -> add 'Load "glx" and change driver "nv" to "nvidia".
