Fedora 28/27/26 nVidia Drivers Install Guide - Comment Page: 57
This is guide, howto install nVidia proprietary drivers on Fedora 28/27/26/25/24/23/22/21 and disable Nouveau driver. This guide works with GeForce 6/7/8/9/200/300/400/500/600/700/800/900/10 series cards.
GeForce 400/500/600/700/800/900/10 series cards works with 390.xx and 396.xx nVidia drivers
GeForce 8/9/200/300 series cards works with 340.xx nVidia drivers
GeForce 6/7 series cards works with 304.xx nVidia drivers
This is totally different guide than my earlier guides, like Fedora 20 nVidia driver install. This guide uses nVidia drivers directly from nVidia site and dkms to help on kernel updates. Have to say that I have had and heard strange problems with different repos...

Thanks for the guide! This installed just fine on Fedora 27 (fc27).
This procedure worked great for me. Back to regular Xorg w/ Nvidia drivers – which gives me some color management – per display (I have 3).

Hello!
I’m trying to restore plymouth, but when I type
insmod vbe and vbeinfo I get “vbe.info not found”.
I’ve tried to looking for on /boot/grub2/ folder and on all filesystem without success (locate vbe.info and find . -name ‘vbe.info’).
Like a glove Sir ! Thank you very much !

I had to do some selinux commands also:
ausearch -c ‘gnome-session-c’ –raw | audit2allow -M my-gnomesessionc
semodule -X 300 -i my-gnomesessionc.pp
ausearch -c ‘gnome-shell’ –raw | audit2allow -M my-gnomeshell

Hi, what is the process for upgrading to a newer set of drivers?
Should I just follow steps from 2.7? Does the installer deal with older versions?

I created blacklist.conf in /etc/modprobe.d and added echo “blacklist nouveau” >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to the file.
When I run dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) I am getting this error:
libkmod: kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf line 1: ignoring bad line starting with ‘echo’
I am on Fedora 27
Hi Haptizum,
Check what you have on your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file?
On step 2.6.1 you should add blacklist nouveau to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, not echo “blacklist nouveau”.
