-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I had a problem upgrading to the nVidia last two drivers drops: 180.22 and 180.29, but 177.x worked just fine. Seems the problem or I would say good programming skills at nVidia were the cause.
The problem was that a while back I had installed Envy-ng, which in turn installs packages that allow for nVidia kernel drivers to be built. Since the Envy-ng drivers were of the 177.x family everything worked. Once I tried to use the 180.x set of drivers, the nVidia build script would "skip" what was installed by package to avoid screwing up my system. So bottom line, use one or the other. That is if you want the latest support of OpenGL v3 then you will need to remove all other nVidia marked packages ( or RPMS or what ever ) from your system so that there build script makes ALL the code and installs it correctly. One could argue that there script should warn you that "hay I did not make the kernel module and thus X-Windows will not work". But hay at least they did error on not screwing up your system. Hope this helps and gives someone out there an "Ah-ah!" moment.
