I ran yum install nvidia-graphics again and it says there's nothign to
update - the driver is already installed. Here's the bits from
xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Panasonic"
ModelName "TH-50PX600A"
### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
HorizSync 31.5 - 37.9
VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0
Option "dpms" "off"
Option "DPI" "100 x 100"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1366x768_60" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
### Password file for built-in VNC - see vncpasswd util
Option "passwordFile" "/home/mythtv/.vnc/passwd"
EndSection
And here's the error in Xorg.0.log if I try to use nvidia as the driver:
...
(II) LoadModule: "vnc"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so
(II) Module vnc: vendor="RealVNC Ltd"
compiled for 4.3.99.902, module version = 1.0.0
Module class: X.Org Server Extension
ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.2
(II) Loading extension VNC
(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
(II) LoadModule: "mouse"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/mouse_drv.so

compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.0.4
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 0.5
...
So at the moment X only runs if vesa is the driver. UNLESS - I go back
to version 8774 but that's no good because I need the ModePool in 9xxx
to get the right resolution on my new HD plasma TV. Could this be a
bug in the binary RPM package for the 9746 driver. perhaps?
