I just updated my machine from F43 to F44, and it’s now running the latest kernel but my akmods solution for the NVidia graphics driver is no longer working. Even after doing akmods –force –rebuild and rebooting, dmesg reports this:
NVRM: The NVIDIA GPU 0000:01:00.0 (PCI ID: 10de:1b83)
NVRM: installed in this system is not supported by open
NVRM: nvidia.ko because it does not include the required GPU
NVRM: System Processor (DSP).
NVRM: Please see the 'Open Linux Kernel Modules' and 'GSP
NVRM: Firmware' sections in the driver README, available on
NVRM: the Linux graphics driver download page at
NVRM: www.nvidia.com
It looks like my card is too old to be supported by the open driver, so I tried to tell it to use the non-open variety:
sudo sh -c 'echo "%_withouth_kmod_nvidia_open 1" > /etc/rpm/macros.nvidia.kmod'
Then I removed the already build modules and rebuilt and rebooted, but it’s still the same thing.
I also went to the www.nvidia.com site and tried to download the driver from there, but couldn’t see a category that matched my specific card. Any hints? At the moment I’m stuck with 1024x768 and only a single working monitor.
