Thank you Mike and Phil!<br>Still got a couple of questions for you...<br>First of all, if something goes wrong, would it be enough to roll back to working configuration with nv open source driver restoring the previously saved xorg.conf? How should I uninstall the driver installed through yum, since i don't think it has an uninstall procedure as the nvidia official one?<br>I'm going to give it a try, i will let you know about the results!<br>Bye<br>D.<br><br>> From: elrepo-request@lists.elrepo.org<br>> Subject: elrepo Digest, Vol 11, Issue 1<br>> To: elrepo@lists.elrepo.org<br>> Date: Tue, 11 May 2010 12:00:02 -0400<br>> <br>> Send elrepo mailing list submissions to<br>> elrepo@lists.elrepo.org<br>> <br>> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br>> http://lists.elrepo.org/mailman/listinfo/elrepo<br>> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br>> elrepo-request@lists.elrepo.org<br>> <br>> You can reach the person managing the list at<br>> elrepo-owner@lists.elrepo.org<br>> <br>> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>> than "Re: Contents of elrepo digest..."<br>> <br>> <br>> Today's Topics:<br>> <br>> 1.

I assume it's definitely an "FX 570", and not an <br>> older "FX 5700" which is only supported by the older legacy 173.xx <br>> driver series.<br>> <br>> Next up, as you're running a PAE kernel, you will need the corresponding <br>> PAE driver, so for you the latest driver would be:<br>> <br>> http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/i386/RPMS/kmod-nvidia-PAE-195.36.24-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm<br>> <br>> After you have elrepo set up, you should be able to install with:<br>> <br>> yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-nvidia-PAE <br>> nvidia-x11-drv<br>> <br>> I would strongly recommend that you first uninstall all previous nvidia <br>> proprietary drivers.<br>> <br>> If you have a working Xorg.conf using the default "nv" driver then the <br>> update should be straight forward. Once you've installed the elrepo <br>> nvidia drivers, please reboot the machine to load the new drivers. If <br>> you still have issues, I would strip it right back to a simple <br>> configuration with just one card/monitor, get the new drivers working <br>> and then tweak your dual card setup as you want.<br>> <br>> Hope that helps.<br>> <br>> Phil<br>> <br>> PS - Please note that the PAE driver will *only* work with PAE kernels <br>> and not with non-PAE kernels.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> ------------------------------<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> elrepo mailing list<br>> elrepo@lists.elrepo.org<br>> http://lists.elrepo.org/mailman/listinfo/elrepo<br>> <br>> <br>> End of elrepo Digest, Vol 11, Issue 1<br>> *************************************<br> <br /><hr />Messenger Radio. <a href='http://www.messenger.it/messenger_radio.aspx' target='_new'>La radio che si fa cliccare!</a></body>
