Looking Fedora 22/21 nVidia Drivers Install Guide?
[inttf_post_ad1]
I've tried this method in few Fedora 12 and Fedora 13 machine, and looks like it is working. Nouveau has been enabled by default starting from Fedora 11 and looks like nouveau cause some problems on Fedora 12 and Fedora 13, when try to use nVidia proprietary driver.
Note: nVidia proprietary drivers on Fedora 12 and Fedora 13 does not support older cards than GeForce 6 cards (except for some exceptions, check this comment).
Install nVidia driver and disable nouveau

Wanted to say thanks. Not so easy to find this.
nVidia proprietary drivers on Fedora 12 (and probably Fedora 13 too) do support a few older cards than GeForce 6 cards. I am using 173xx driver for GeForce FX-5500 on F12 without any problem. I think even 96xx driver is supported, however 71xx is definitely not supported.
Blacklisting nouveau and setting SElinux are now done automatically by the RPM Fusion RPMs, without any user intervention.
Hi Awasthi,
Nice to know that nVidia proprietary drivers support even older than GeForce 6 cards and also nice to know that the Nouveau blacklisting and SELinux settings are now done automatically by RPM Fusion RPMs.
I updated this info to guide, thank you.
thank you so much,you are site is great man,
hope for more
Although I skipped the setsebool step because I have selinux disabled, your instructions fixed my problem (I think. I did this remotely and won’t know if X is running correctly until I get home, but I do see a kdm_greet in top so I’m hopeful.). I just upgraded from Fedora 11 to Fedora 13 and hadn’t experienced this nouveau problem before. I spent two hours last night trying to disable the module to no avail. Who’s idea was this nouveau crap anyway?
Thanks for the help.
