Tried several times to get drivers from nvidia to work on a laptop and all I got was a black screen.
Did a bit more of a look and I discovered that F11 uses the new nouveau drivers as default. Which is great, but there is no support yet for this card in the nouveau project. So I need the nvidia drivers for decent GL. The nouveau drivers conflict with the ones from nvidia.
Once you have the nvidia drivers compiled and installed, either direct from nvidia or the rpmfusion project you need to recreate the initrd boot image.
# mv /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img /boot/initrd-($uname -r)-nouveau.img
# mkinitrd /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
# reboot
X should now start with the nvidia driver.
Hibernate does not work on a mini 9 running OSX. But OSX does create the hibernate file which will always be as large as the amount of memory you have.
On a 16GB Drive 2 gig seems an awfully large waste of space (remember as hibernate doesn’t work, the file is completey useless).
Open a terminal, and remove the current hibernate file:
$ sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
Use pmset to turn hibernation off:
$ sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
I also found that for some reason the system still re-created a hibernate file, though I am no sure why or under what circumstances it would do that.
But to make sure it doesn’t happen simply set the location of the hibernate file to /dev/null:
$ sudo pmset -a hibernatefile /dev/null
You get 2GB back – Yay!
