Installed the nvidia driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.20.run from www.nvidia.com) with the following steps (taken from the many summaries found on the internet):
- make sure gcc and current kernel headers are installed
- add 'blacklist nouveau' at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
- add 'rdblacklist=nouveau vga=791' at the end of each line starting with 'kernel' in /boot/grub/menu.lst
- yum remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
- backup the current initrd.img and replace it by the command
dracut -v /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
- reboot
- /sbin/init 3
- chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.20.run
- ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.20.run
The projector on the VGA output is seen at its true resolution now, but... maybe it's just a fantasy... I have the impression that the screen was a little bit sharper with the nouveau drivers. Possible?
