I know there's another FC5 thread, but here's the easiest and most gotcha-less method. First off, apply all updates then reboot (to activate the kernel update, if any): yum update; yum clean packages; sync; reboot Then make sure to install the compat-db package: yum install compat-db Then enable the Livna repository for the NVidia driver. The instructions are here: http://rpm.livna.org/configuration.htmlEssentially it boils down to: wget http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm
rpm -ivh livna-release-5.rpm Now with Livna enabled, installing the NVidia driver is as simple as: yum install kmod-nvidia Then reboot. That's it! The system should be ready to run Second Life. |

From: Florin Damone I know there's another FC5 thread, but here's the easiest and most gotcha-less method.
First off, apply all updates then reboot (to activate the kernel update, if any):
I am not sure about the compat-db. I have this installed already but how should this be related to a graphics card? I dont suggest to follow your instructions. You dont distinguish between livna stable and the others. I recommend to not enable livna-testing by default. Either you have done this or you could not have installed the drivers because livna-stable does not have any kmod-nvidia package, yet. So FC5 user please read the other FC5 instruction ( /263/a8/95381/1.html#post959749) if you really want to get this working. This way in this thread will not work because he does not tell you how to configure LIVNA repository. I would not configure the repository at all. Or take a look at http://stux.wikiinfo.org/moin.py/Fedora_Core_5 |

FC5 Alpha Issues
03-30-2006 15:18
I just got done installing fc5 and did a yum update. I then istalled the Nvidia drivers which seemed to have installed fine. I then did the other installs and work arounds as laid out in this thread. I tried to run ./secondlife and am getting the following error:
2006-03-30T23:10:11Z INFO: Initializing window...

2006-03-30T23:10:11Z INFO: remove_marker_file()
So from my completely amateur view of this error, it looks like GLX is not loading. I went to the Nvidia display settings and clicked on the "OpenGL/GLX Information" option. It tells me "The OpenGL extension 'GLX' is not supported by the X server or there was a problem retrieving GLX information from the X server."
Any suggestions?

From: Florin Damone Now with Livna enabled, installing the NVidia driver is as simple as: yum install kmod-nvidia I did this, but how do i know if my system is using their driver? when i look at the display config in my system prefs, it still shows nVidia Corp Unknown Device 0391 as the driver. when I run the ./secondlife I get the following output which suggests to me that driver is not installed. [root@localhost SecondLife_1_10_6_0]# ./secondlife
./secondlife: line 4: installations.: command not found

From: someone Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Shows GLX is not working. make sure /etc/X11/xorg.conf is loading the nvidia driver (not nv)
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVidia card name.."
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
also make sure it has a line Load "glx" and that the lines: #Load "Dri" #Load "GLcore" Are commented out (as above) or deleted. The restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace or reboot) |
