Fedora 17:nvidia驱动

• Add RPMFusion Repositories (Free and Non-Free)

yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-branched.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-branched.noarch.rpm

• install nVidia proprietary drivers for GeForce 6/7/8/9/200/300/400/500 series cards

yum install kmod-nvidia

• akmod is good option and easy way avoid problems on kernel updates and is best and only option if you use:

self-compiled kernel

older Fedora kernel

quickly changing kernels from updates-testing/rawhide

yum install akmod-nvidia

• Remove / disable nouveau drivers from kernel initramfs

## Backup old initramfs nouveau image ##
 mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
## Create new initramfs image ##
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

以上方法不适用双显卡，具体参见http://forums.if-not-true-then-false.com/index.php?topic=110

• bumblebee的作用是禁用nvidia独立显卡，需要使用独显时，使用”optirun 程序名“手动开启nvidia来运行需要加速的程序，如optirun vmware。

集显、独显分别运行 glxgears 或 glxspheres 测试，以glxgears为例：

➜  ~  glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.  The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.107 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.869 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.856 FPS

➜  ~  optirun glxgears
2284 frames in 5.0 seconds = 456.677 FPS
2358 frames in 5.0 seconds = 471.540 FPS
2275 frames in 5.0 seconds = 454.942 FPS

• 打开N卡设置：

optirun nvidia-settings -c :8
