From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: I installed the Nvidia Drivers with the downloaded file from Nvidia.com, Compiled it the usual way. Once drivers were installed i changed the driver from nv to Nvidia and rebooted. Once rebooted the system locked and could not get to a console, I could not ssh to my pc either so was forced to do a hard reboot and used the cd to enter in to rescue mode to restore the XFree86 file. Then rebooted and now is working without the Nvidia driver. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fedora core test2 2. enter in to init 1 to go to single user mode 3. sh NVidia............. Driver file 4. vi /etc/X11/XFree86........... 5. Change from NV to nvidia 6. Reboot 7. System Lock and reboot to rescue mode to recover Actual Results: The X failed to start and locked the system Expected Results: X should have used the new Nvidia Kernel Moduels and started normally Additional info:
