Issues with Fedora 12 PPC
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX
The video-nv driver is replaced by the video-nouveau as the default graphics driver for NVIDIA video cards. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NouveauAsDefault for more information.
Unfortunately nouveau doesn't work for the NVIDIA video card used in the Power Mac G4 MDD dual 867 Mhz CPU. You need to switch back to nv.
Howto will follow.
Check that the nv driver ist installed. If not install it:
# yum install xorg-x11-drv-nv
Now you need to disable the nouveau driver. Check that the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf exists If not create it:
- vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
Add: blacklist nouveau Create new initrd. If you have a Fedora minimal installtion you need to install mkinitrd first.
- yum install mkinitrd
- mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
Reboot System:
- reboot
Configure you display:
- system-config-display --reconfig
