The 6.18 test kernel works for me on 3 systems running Workstation. One is an old iMac with Nividia that needs to 470xx legacy driver. The RPMfusion howto needs updating for Fedora 43: when you install the RPM, it creates /etc/gdm.conf/custom.conf: % cat /etc/gdm/custom.conf # GDM configuration storage [daemon] # Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg # WaylandEnable=false [security] [xdmcp] [chooser] [debug] # Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging #Enable=true Uncommenting the WaylandEnable=false line allows you to run an Xorg Desktop. I use Cinnamon for testing. I can select Gnome, but many Gnome applications no longer support Xorg so to use Gnome have to add the # to enable Wayland login screen. I can leave the Nvidia blacklist entries in the kernel command line as enabling Wayland forces a fallback to Nouveau. -- George N. White III
