I presume you are able to run your FC9 install on command mode. Nvidia has been a problem, I should know, I have been using RH or FC with Nvidia since 5 years now. If your FC9 is ok in command mode or Run Level 3 (init 3) mode then, you can try either building the Nvidia module from the package provided by Nvidia (<a href="http://www.nvidia.com/downloads">www.nvidia.com/downloads</a>) or download the rpms from either <a href="http://rpm.livna.org">rpm.livna.org</a> or <a href="http://atrpms.net">atrpms.net</a>. I find the Nvidia package much easier. To be able to run Nvidia package from Nvidia site you would require the kernel-devel rpm to be installed in your system for the kernel you are using on your FC9. By the way there seems to be no kernel-devel for the kernel bundled with the DVD, therefore, you may first need to do a yum update for your system and then do the following:<br>
1. download the Nvidia package from Nvidia site (<span class="a">www.<b>nvidia</b>.com/page/drivers.html)</span>, the package begining <b>173.14.09 (32-bit) and </b><b>177.13 (64-bit) should work.</b><br>2. yum install kernel-devel (this would install kernel-devel rpm)<br>
3. Log as root in run level 3 or command mode.<br>4. chmod +x <nividia package><br>5. sh <nvidia package><br>this should install nividia drivers and modify xorg file for nvidia graphics.<br>For the second method: download and install a) kmod-nvidia-173 or kmod-nvidia-177 and b) kmod-nvidia - <kernel version>. You can also do a yum install also with livna repository data.<br>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">I am a total newbie to Linux (less than a week) and open source and I began my experiments with Fedora and I have to admit its one very cool system.<br>
<br>My problems began with trying to install the Fedora core 9 64 bit version. The anaconda installer identifies my Nvidia Ge Force card perfectly but after that X server begins its work it just halts. This happens even in the 32 bit version. I thought I might have burned the DVD wrong and retried with a fresh new DVD but it still halted.<br>
<br>This is odd because I have tried installing FC 8 32 and 64 bit version and they both work fine. The 64 bit also lets me install the latest release of the Nvidia driver with no problems.<br><br>This is my computer's hardware configuration. I have a AMD Phenom 9500 Quad Core Processor 1.80 GHz, 4 GB DDR RAM, NVidia GeForce 8600 GT Display adapter, Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet Controller. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Suggestions please.</span></div>
