fedora 23 nvidia driver

edit

I now use BETA Nvidia driver from http://negativo17.org/nvidia-driver/

You have to change SELinux to permissive to use the driver, and it's not 100% stable yet.

Fedora 23 is using X.org 1.18 RC2 and unfortunately nvidia drivers do not support it yet.

They are likely to publish a new driver when 1.18 becomes stable.

In the meantime you have 2 options:

1. using the nouveau driver and wait for the nvidia drivers to be released
2. downgrade xorg to version 1.17

Nvidia drivers for Linux should be at version 352.63 at this moment and this version has support for Xorg 1.18, or at least it should have because I use them and everything works fine. ;-)

You can search for appropriate drivers for your system here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.... . What model do you have?

There is currently no nvidia support for F23 till nvidia.com update their driver for Xorg server 1.18

Hi,

I ran into the same issue. Even after downgrading to xorg 1.17, I still was not able to install because I had assumed that RPM Fusion would have drivers. Not the case. However, this article helped me install the Nvidia driver on F23 and it now works like a charm:

Just follow the steps. Good luck!

... and according to NVIDIA, there is no Xorg server 1.18 yet. The Xorg server that shipped with Fedora 23 is beta software. Driver support won't be forthcoming until Xorg makes an official release.

I have the very same issue. I'm using a Dell XPS 1530 with the GeForce 8600M GT card. Nvidia released the 340.96 driver for that card on 11/16/2015. I followed the instructions, disabled/blacklisted nouveau, and installed the driver. Now the boot process is stuck when trying to start Gnome Desktop. I got around it by booting to multi-user.target and running startx. I also use KDE but cannot get to it using this method.
