<div>Hi Matt,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for your help.</div>
<div>I'm glad that your solution uses the livna-supplied drivers rather than the nvidia-supplied drivers because I understand from reading this article:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-February/msg01178.html" target="_blank">Attention: Proprietary video driver users (ATI, Nvidia, etc.)<br></a><a href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-February/msg01178.html" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-February/msg01178.html</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>that the drivers supplied by Nvidia overwrite some OpenGL libraries with their own versions of those libraries. Very naughty.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Before I can proceed I need ask you a few questions:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. How do I find out if I have the plantetccrma kernel-devel package installed on my system and if it's not there, how do I get it?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. Do I have to remove the livna-supplied nvidia driver that I have already installed on my Fedora 2.6.24.5-85.fc8 kernel, or can it co-exist peacefully with the one I'm about to install on the planetccrma 2.6.24.3-1.rt1.2.fc8.ccrmart kernel?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3. Do I have to do the installation as root or should I do it as a regular user?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4. Which 'package' do I need to download from livna: <b>xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-169.12.1.lvn8.src.rpm</b>, <b>nvidia-kmod-169.12-7.lvn8.src.rpm</b>, ...?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks</div>
<div> </div>

<br><br>I think everything there is correct -- please let me know if it works<br>or if you have any questions -- if you want I can post what the<br>beginning of the final .spec file looks like when I do it.<br><br>(hopefully I'M doing it right!... )<br>

> running on it. But I'm having a problem getting the rt kernel working.<br>><br>> First, my vital statistics:<br>><br>> Computer: HP Pavilion dv9608ca laptop, AMD Athlon 64/x2 cpu, 2GHz, 2GB<br>> memory<br>
> video card: nvidia MCP67M (GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M compatible)<br>> Installed kernel that is working properly with the (livna-supplied) nvidia<br>> driver: 2.6.24.5-85.fc8<br>> Installed ccrma kernel: 2.6.24.3-1.rt1.2.fc8.ccrmart (NOT WORKING)<br>
><br>> Here's my story:<br>><br>> I've successfully installed Fedora Core 8 on my laptop and now have a<br>> dual-boot system with Windows Vista as the other OS and GRUB as my<br>> bootloader. Everything working fine at this point. Then I installed the<br>
> nvidia driver from livna to get full support for my display. Everything<br>> working superfine at this point. Played around with it for a couple of days,<br>> no problems.<br>><br>> Then I followed the instructions at planetccrma and installed the realtime<br>

> I didn't see the nvidia splash screen during boot either, so it definitely<br>> wasn't initializing properly. When I got to the login screen I was able to<br>> login to the GUI but it was unstable and eventually just froze; no response<br>

> loose my whole system in the process.<br>><br>> Here's what I THINK the problem is:<br>><br>> Because I installed the nvidia driver while running under the<br>> 2.6.24.5-85.fc8 kernel (and before installing the planetccrma realtime<br>
> kernel) it only works with that kernel, and does not work with the ccrma<br>> kernel. After viewing the livna repository files I noted that there aren't<br>> any driver rpm's for the ccrma version of the kernel<br>
> (2.6.24.3-1.rt1.2.fc8.ccrmart). Many people talked about this in the forums<br>> and suggested downloading the livna sources and re-compiling the driver for<br>> the ccrma kernel. Is this what I need to do?<br>
><br>> Here's what I THINK I have to do:<br>><br>> 1. Install the kernel-rt-devel package for the ccrma realtime kernel (do I<br>> need the kernel-headers too?)<br>> 2. Download the source rpm's for the livna driver<br>
> 3. Install the source rpm's for the livna driver<br>> 4. Compile the livna source rpm's and install the resulting binary rpm's<br>> while running under the ccrma realtime kernel<br>> 5. Reboot and I will be in ccrma heaven<br>
><br>> Is this correct?<br>> If so, could someone please give me, or point me to, detailed instructions<br>> on how to accomplish this. I'm far from a Linux expert and very new to<br>> Fedora.<br>><br>
