The X11 video-nv driver is replaced by the video-nouveau as the default graphics driver for NVIDIA video cards. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NouveauAsDefault for more information.
** 20.08 - 21.08.11 [[FrOSCon_2011|FrOSCon 2011]]: St. Augustin, Germany
Unfortunately nouveau doesn't work for the NVIDIA video card used in the Power Mac G4 MDD with dual 867 Mhz CPU. You need to switch back to nv.

* 2010
Check that the nv driver is installed. If not install it:
** 21.08 - 22.08.10 [[FrOSCon_2010|FrOSCon 2010]]: St. Augustin, Germany
 
** 13.11 - 14.11.10 [[OpenRheinRuhr2010|OpenRheinRuhr 2010]]: Oberhausen, Germany
<pre>
<BR><BR><BR>
# yum install xorg-x11-drv-nv
</pre>
 
Now you need to disable the nouveau driver.
Check that the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf exists. If not create it:
 
<pre>
# vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
</pre>
 
Add:
<pre>
blacklist nouveau
</pre>
 
Check that mkinitrd is installed. If you have a Fedora minimal installation you need to install it.
 
<pre>
# yum install mkinitrd
</pre>
 
Create new initrd:
 
<pre>
# mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
</pre>
 
Reboot System:
 
<pre>
# reboot
</pre>
 
Re-configure you display:
 
<pre>
# system-config-display --reconfig
</pre>
