I had to replace my video card as it was causing system crashes and finally died. My old card had a GT 230 chip. I check and brought http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeName with me shopping. I noted that my card was in the NV50 family. This seems to have good support and I had not problems. So, I figured I'd a new card in the same family.
I got a GT215/GT240. Imagine my surprise when it hung on booting into graphical mode with the Fedora Icon displayed. The /var/log/messages file shows lots of Nov 15 13:55:26 meimei kernel: [ 69.226738] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PGRAPH TLB flush idle timeout fail: 0x011fde03 0x00145b4d 0x0000002d 0x0034db40 Nov 15 13:55:34 meimei kernel: [ 75.562699] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Failed to idle channel 2. messages. Anyway, I really need to get my system up and running so I just installed kmod-nvidia from rpmfusion and had done with it. I thought I did all I needed to do to come out with a working system running nouveau. Either I missed something or buying the right nVidia card supported by nouveau is hit or miss. Yes, I know there is no love lost between "Linux" and nVidia. -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
