Fedora 25/24/23 nVidia Drivers Install Guide

This is guide, howto install nVidia proprietary drivers on Fedora 25/24/23/22/21 and disable Nouveau driver. This guide works with GeForce 6/7/8/9/200/300/400/500/600/700/800/900/10 series cards.

  • GeForce 400/500/600/700/800/900/10 series cards works with 375.xx and 381.xx nVidia drivers
  • GeForce 8/9/200/300 series cards works with 340.xx nVidia drivers
  • GeForce 6/7 series cards works with 304.xx nVidia drivers

This is totally different guide than my earlier guides, like Fedora 20 nVidia driver install. This guide uses nVidia drivers directly from nVidia site and dkms to help on kernel updates. Have to say that I have had and heard strange problems with different repos (like RPMFusion) nVidia drivers. So that’s why I decided go back to old school (and bit ugly) method and install nVidia drivers “manually”. I have tested this guide with 304.xx (patched), 340.xx (patched), 375.xx and 381.xx drivers/cards.

With DKMS, you could just update your kernel and your nVidia drivers are compiled automatically. If you want upgrade nVidia drivers, then you have to download new package from nVidia site or use nvidia-installer --update option (this works only with latest drivers). If you try –update method with 304.xx or 340.xx versions, then you get latest drivers.

3. Some Screenshots Using Different nVidia Cards and Drivers

5. Fedora 25/24/23/22/21 Uninstall nVidia drivers and Enable Nouveau

6. Fedora 25/24/23/22/21 nVidia FAQ

Let me know, if you have some problems?

Or if you succeed, you could post output of following commands:

Bash


nvidia-installer -v |grep version

uname -a

lspci |grep -i VGA

Backup first important files before you start installation. And this is of course at your own risk, because graphic cards, components and monitors are different and some combinations might cause totally unexpected results.

1. Before nVidia drivers installation

1.1 Check is your nVidia card supported

Bash


lspci |grep -E "VGA|3D"

## Example outputs ##

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 610] (rev a1)

List of Supported NVIDIA GPU Products, if your card found before 340.xx section, then use 375.xx drivers and if between 340.xx and 304.xx sections, then use 340.xx drivers and if after 304.xx section, then use 304.xx drivers.

If you see multiple VGA controllers, then check next step and sometimes you might see example Intel VGA controller which have nothing to do with Optimus, normally you can go to BIOS and simply disable it.

1.2 NVIDIA Optimus Technology

If your lspci |grep -E “VGA|3D” output looks like following:

Bash


00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2n Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF106 [GeForce GT 555M SDDR3] (rev a1)

Or

Bash


00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)

01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 750M] (rev a1)

Or you know that your computer have NVIDIA Optimus Technology, and it is impossible to turn Intel Graphics / NVIDIA Optimus off in the BIOS then this guide might not work for you and it’s not tested. You should check Bumblebee Project.

 

2. Install nVidia proprietary drivers on Fedora 25/24/23/22/21 and disable the nouveau driver

2.1 Download nVidia Installer Package

Go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us and find latest version of installer package. When you use browser this is normally downloaded /home/<username>/Downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-xxxx.run location.
