==== NVIDIA GeForce4 MX ====
The X11 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 with dual 867 Mhz CPU. You need to switch back to nv.
<BR>
Check that the nv driver is installed. If not install it:
<pre>
# yum install xorg-x11-drv-nv
</pre>
Now you need to disable the nouveau driver.
Check that the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf exists. If not create it:
<pre>
# vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
</pre>
Add:
<pre>
blacklist nouveau
</pre>
Check that mkinitrd is installed. If you have a Fedora minimal installation you need to install it.
<pre>
# yum install mkinitrd
</pre>
Create new initrd:
<pre>
# mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
</pre>
Reboot System:
<pre>
# reboot
</pre>
Re-configure you display:
<pre>
# system-config-display --reconfig
</pre>
