I performed a software update “Packes/All Packages/Update if newer version available”.
Since doing this I keep getting error messages when X tries to start:
NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 390.116, but
NVRM: this kernel module has the version 390.87. Please
NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
NVRM: components have the same version.
I’ve tried both the G04 and G05 drivers sets for my machine, but both results in similare messages, only the client version changes, the kernel module version is always 390.87.
Is there a know “hiccup” in the packages, or is there anything I could look into.
I’m currently stuck with using FrameBuffer Graphics at 1024x768 on a 40" screen.
If you are unable to get unstuck by booting a prior kernel or getting an NVidia DDX to properly install, you should be able to reach the native display resolution by following the modesetting DDX instructions I posted in the NVidia DDX failure thread that followed yours right here 10 hours later.
Well, i had similar issue with a monitor not allowed to display in 1920*1080.
I’ve reinstalled the rpms related to nvidia. Now, Xorg is not working, i have a beautiful back screen with a terminal…a modern gui indeed.
In some ways, i understand Linus saying “Nvidia, f@ck you!”.
I have removed all nvidia packages and reinstalled Xorg. My tty console welcomes me at boot. Nightmare to see that Windows is still saving me with this sh!t.
