I came across this issue in Fedora 19 when using akmod-nvidia-304xx. When I reboot it would never successfully start X. I checked the logs and it stated that the driver nvidia could not be found. After some poking around, I found that indeed nvidia.so did not exist after the install of the akmod RPM. I looked in the why the akmod RPM was not successful in building the driver. As it turned out, I did not have the following packages: kernel-devel buildsys-build-rpmfusion-kerneldevpkgs-current Installed and are required for the akmod to build the driver. I now installed Fedora 20 and had the exact same issue. After installing the aforementioned packages and rebooting, the akmod successfully built and installed the nvidia.so driver. After the system restarted everything came up as expected. akmod-nvidia-304xx-304.117-1.fc20.x86_64 This akmod package should require all packages needed to build the sources in the source rpm included in the akmod package. If help is needed to add the requirements, I can update the spec file and send it to whoever requires it. Regards, Robert Hi, Robert. Did u run akmod after nvidia installation? You must have all its dependencies intalled. It must return everything as [OK], or something like that. For me there was some problem with my graphic card. Oh! sorry i didn't read all of your comment, i thought u have same problem i had! The primary issue that I had, was that the Akmod RPM installed with out the dependencies that were needed by the Nvidia Source RPM inside the Akmod RPM. Your problem description to reproduce the issue, is exactly the same as mine. The Akmod RPM installed just fine, but after the reboot, The screen just remains at the boot progress bar and never successfully starts X. Once the dependencies were installed, everything worked as expected. I hope your issue was resolved and I hope that my issue is also resolved, so others do not become frustrated and change to a different distro just because they could not install a video card driver.
