Do you get messages at boot, in dmesg, or in /var/log/messages? What happens if you run akmods --force from the command line (as root)? (If you aren't running the kernel you want to build for, add --kernels <kernel-version>.) FWIW, aknod worked smooth as silk here (Quadro NVS 140M 2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.x86_64) and even with legacy drivers (GeForce FX 5400 2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.i686.PAE). </blockquote></div> I'm using the akmod for a while now (on 4 different machines) and they seem to work just fine. However, make sure you: 1. Install the required packages: (64bit with multi-lib in this case) xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i586 akmod-nvidia.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.86_64 2. Build the required modules: /etc/init.d/akmods restart /etc/init.d/nvidia restart 3. Add the missing module configurations in xorg.conf Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/drivers" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" EndSection 4. Restart X. Hope it helps, - Gilboa </div>
