Fedora Core 12 nVidia Corporation GeForce 7150 / nForce 630i Support

by nate on Feb.07, 2010, under Uncategorized

I recently bought a mobo with an integrated 512 MB video card. I cannot get it to work with nvidia drivers under linux! There does not seem to be any that work with 64b linux on the nvidia site. :( The xorg configs that follow work but are buggy, logging out of X sometimes just results in a black screen with a blinking cursor, no login page. Also I noticed that using the nv driver instead of vesa results in a similar blinking cursor xcrash upon loading.
