Hey, thank you for this guide. I’ve a problem. I’m working with analogic cable and the system doesn’t recognize the monitor. How I can set the resolution now? With nouveu I had the same problem. So I know I can set the resolution from the nVidia panel, but I can’t because the resolution now is 640×480 and is impossible to sets it to 1920×1080. Any ideas?

  Hi Primax,
  
  Could you post your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log example to http://pastebin.com ?
  
  Then could you also tell more specific what cable, monitor and graphics card you are using?

      Thanks, yes problem is this:

      Could you also post your xrandr command output:

      This should be fixable with xorg configuration, but good to see xrandr output before.

        Okay, try following.
        
        1. Create modeline
        
        cvt 1920 1080 60
        
        Output:
        
        # 1920x1080 59.96 Hz (CVT 2.07M9) hsync: 67.16 kHz; pclk: 173.00 MHz Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
        
        2. Create new mode using xrandr
        
        xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
        
        3. Add mode using xrandr
        
        xrandr --addmode DVI-I-0 1920x1080_60.00
        
        4. Change mode
        
        xrandr --output DVI-I-0 --mode 1920x1080_60.00
        
        If this works, then you could add it to xorg.conf, like:
        
        ... Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Samsung" ModelName "LS24D300HS" Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080_60.00" Option "DPMS" EndSection ...

        Hi primax,
        
        I found your monitor manual and looks like your monitor Horizontal Frequency is 30 ~ 81 kHz and Vertical Frequency is 56 ~ 75 Hz, so modify following lines on your xorg.conf:
        
        ... HorizSync 30.0 - 81.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0 ...
        
        And reboot your system. If 640×480 is still only option, then try to run xrandr commands again, is it working then?

    I have recently started using Linux and have settled on Fedora after trying MINT, UBUNTU, KUBUNTU, OPENSUSE etc. And your article on installing the nvidia driver worked flawlessly the three times I have had to install the driver. Many thanks for that.
    
    But the bash prompt in Fedora is just plain white unlike what you find in MINT. This seemed to be a very simple task which required some simple code storing the value of the PS1 to be appended to the ~/.bash_profile as mentioned in all the following sites:
    
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt
    https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-customize-your-bash-prompt-on-a-linux-vps
    http://blog.bigsmoke.us/2008/12/05/my-new-bash-prompt
    http://www.askapache.com/linux/bash-power-prompt.html
    http://mediadoneright.com/content/ultimate-git-ps1-bash-prompt
    http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-unix-bash-shell-setup-prompt.html
    
    But it never changed any color for me. Finally, I put some code in ~/.bashrc as I discovered that the system-wide bash is located in /etc/bashrc in my installation [don’t know if that is universal in Fedora 23].
    
    Having new PS1 value stored in ~/.bashrc gives a nice and colored prompt after su but for the normal user it does not change any color unless i source ~/.bash_profile after every login. Don’t know how to set the value permanently.
    
    Hope I have been able to explain my problem, although, it may not be remotely related to your area of interest. And I was hoping that you might be able to write a guide for it if it is a big enough issue.
    
    Thanks,
    Regards

      Sorry, now I understand what you meant.
      
      Add your PS1=’…’ to normal user ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile. System wide /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc.
      
      ~/.bash_profile is only sourced by bash when started in interactive login mode. TTY, SSH etc.
      
      ~/.bashrc should be sourced when you open terminal emulator (non interactive login mode). Gnome-Terminal, Konsole etc.
      
      ~/.profile should be sourced when you log in graphically. Gnome session etc.

        Since you have been so kind, can you please make a guide on installing google earth in fedora, it installs without a glitch on MINT but does not install on fedora 23.
        
        Another comment regarding the skype installation guide.
        First time I installed the nVIDIA driver first and then isntalled skype and skype did not work. But the second time, I installed skype first and then installed the nVIDIA drivers and although, I was expecting that skype would stop working now but it did not :)

        Hi Bilal,
        
        You are welcome!
        
        Looks like that the Google Earth RPM package won’t install on Fedora 23. It conflicts with file from filesystem package.
        
        This is quick workaround to get Google Earth working on Fedora 23. First install following packages:
        
        dnf install freeimage openssl-libs wget xdg-utils redhat-lsb
        
        Then Download Google Earth RPM package and extract files from package:
        
        ## As root or normal user ## mkdir /tmp/google-earth cd /tmp/google-earth rpm2cpio /path/to/google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv ## Following commands as root ## mkdir -p /opt/google cp -a /tmp/google-earth/opt/google/earth /opt/google/
        
        Then run Google Earth (as normal user):
        
        /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth
        
        Check following to solve problems with Skype and NVIDIA drivers.

Thanks so much for this guide. I had tried going the RPM Fusion route that had worked in the past for me up through Fedora 21. All kinds of strange behavior and I could not boot my machine into run level 5 at all. I uninstalled the akmod-nvidia-34xx from RPM fusion and installed via your instructions above and everything is working perfectly. Something is drastically wrong with the RPM Fusion drivers/Install process.

Hey JR, I’m writing here because I can’t reply your last answer. I did everthing, but now in the right side of the login screen there is a vertical black bar. When I login, the bar dissappear but the resolution is not correct. So, I went in settings and I set 1920×1080 but the aspect ratio is incorrect (4:3) and it is unchangeble. Any ideas? Thank you for your time.
