Fedora 11 nvidia segmentation fault

September 17, 2009 | By Fabio Milano In Tutorial |

Scenario / Question:

On boot I get the following error /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 513: 1345 aborted “$@” FAILED when nvidia driver loads

/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 513: 1345 aborted “$@” FAILED

OR

# nvidia-config-display

Segmentation Fault

Solution / Answer:

The problem is actually with nvidia-config-display causing a segmentation fault

Fix /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 513: 1345 aborted “$@” FAILED

Edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and remove any references to Keyboard Input.

Create a backup of your xorg.conf file:

# cd /etc/X11/
# cp xorg.conf backup.xorg.conf

Delete the following lines in xorg.conf

InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

Section "InputDevice"

 # generated from data in "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard"
 Identifier     "Keyboard0"
 Driver         "keyboard"
 Option         "XkbLayout" "us"
 Option         "XkbModel" "pc105"
EndSection

Reboot your system:

# shutdown -r now

      Very good suggestion. It works fine for me with fedora 12th.
      Thanks you Fabio.
