John, it looks to me like you have pieces of two different versions of the nVidia driver installed. Earlier (Thu, 1 Aug 2013 13:29:49 -0700) you posted this: > [jjj@Devil8 sleepyhead-code]$ locate libnvidia-tls.so > /usr/lib64/nvidia/libnvidia-tls.so.1 > /usr/lib64/nvidia/libnvidia-tls.so.304.64 <=== > /usr/lib64/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so > /usr/lib64/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1 > /usr/lib64/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.304.64 <=== > [jjj@Devil8 sleepyhead-code]$ locate libnvidia-glcore.so > /usr/lib64/nvidia/libnvidia-glcore.so > /usr/lib64/nvidia/libnvidia-glcore.so.1 > /usr/lib64/nvidia/libnvidia-glcore.so.304.64 <=== Note the differences in version numbers compared to your other post. This kind of thing can cause all sorts of headaches, as you've found. You may be stuck with the nVidia driver. The Fedora 16 repos are gone, so you can't get the F16 version of nouveau and associated X.org drivers/libraries. (Remember that the nVidia setup replaces some of the standard packages.) I'm told it possible to use packages from later versions, but I don't know how it's done. The nVidia software for F16 is still on RPMFusion. I don't if yum can get it or not. If not, you'll have to do some manual navigation (the repo isn't available directly from the web interface) and download the relevant packages. Then you can install them with yum or rpm. This thread <http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=204752> has the best instructions for installing nVidia on Fedora. I've followed these guides since F12, and they've worked beautifully. Anyway, I hope this helps. --Dale -- "Duct tape is like the Force.
