I don't have f29 experience, but if you have previously used a proprietary mVidia driver and want to use nouveau, I suggest reinstalling nouveau and trying again.

Or install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-410.66-1.fc29 from rpmfusion-nonfree, or similar.

It has been my impression in the past that the most recently installed driver is likely to work but may disable earlier installations.

Thank you, John.  I may not've been clear:  There are no proprietary Nvidia drivers installed in F29, and were none on F28. Nouveau only in both cases, and they were working under F28.

Does 'dnf' installing the Nvidia driver do all the kernel stuff that's involved?


This will tell you much more than you need to know.  See the section headed  Current GeForce/Quadro/Tesla.  It will pull in the additional packages needed to build the kernel module, and building it will take some time.  Sometimes after a version update my box doesn't close down normally and I have to reboot via Alt/f2.

I have the current version for f28 running well with a GT 710 which gives a similar lspci

Hi, John. Thanks for the info. Installing the rpmfusion Nvidia package and rebooting is all it took. I'm good.
