Good start maybe the half the success

It was too tired to wrote the blog after site in front of the computer for 5 hour attempted to install some fancy OS with fancy interface. It’s the Linux Fedora 7.9 with Beryl 0.2, and Nivdia video driver has to be installed in order to put the interface up. I have used 3 hours to figure out the linux in Fedora using some 2.6.xxxxx.fc7-x86_64zen. The “zen” drive me crazy since there seems no kerenl source for me to build a proper Nividia driver. So i fall back to original “2.6.xxxxx.fc7-x86_64″ core inorder to compile the driver right. At least the driver is compiled and installed in the Fedora. I was really happy for this, since it works finally. And I go to the Yum to install Beryl…..there are always weird behavior on the “add/remove” function, yum is not quit reliable at some point, you need to declare the source (repository), otherwise the system halt. And after another 2 hours Beryl installed. And , i think you already know the result from my title, right? It’s not working. But I won’t give up for that, it will be up and running very soon!! Good luck to me.
