Fedora 19 nVidia Drivers Install / Uninstall Guide - Comment Page: 6
Looking Fedora 22/21 nVidia Drivers Install Guide?
[inttf_post_ad1]
This is guide, howto install nVidia proprietary drivers on Fedora 19 "Schrödinger’s Cat" and disable Nouveau driver. This guide works with GeForce 6/7/8/9/200/300/400/500/600/700 series cards. Older GeForce series cards works with 304.xx nVidia drivers and newer 8/9/200/300/400/500/600/700 series cards works with 331.xx nVidia drivers.
Fedora 19 nVidia driver installation is not much different from previous Fedora versions. I have tested this guide with a couple computers, so let me know, if you have some problems.
1. Before nVidia drivers installation
1.1 Check is your nVidia card...
Hello JR,

Hi Frank,
Looks like your computer have NVIDIA Optimus Technology, and if you can turn Intel Graphics off and nVidia on, then you could try this guide, else you could check Fedora 19 for NVIDIA Optimus users (with Nvidia driver or Bumblebee) guide.
This howto dont work for me never, sorry
Hi Isaac,
I’m sorry to hear that this hasn’t worked for you.
Could you tell a bit more about the problem and your nVidia card?
Works perfect on Fedora 21, thanks saved me after StartX failed after upgrade from F20 to F21 :-)
Didn’t work for me. System is unrecoverable.
Fedora 21
Geforce 8800GTS
MSI P55-GD85
Tried this on Fedora 33. It “appears” the driver is running, but BOINC can’t find it.

Hello Roland,
Your driver installation looks good. I can’t directly give you any answer about this BOINC problem, I will test this soon, maybe I found something.
