Hey guys, newb to Bitcoin Mining, and I am running Fedora 14 64 bit. I have an Zotac ION (Nvidia ION) vid card in it right now, and would like to have it do a little mining while its running. This is my home server (files and stuff) and its running 24/7 anyways, so I figured why not let it do some mining in the meantime.

I was wondering, is it possible to do mining with an Nvidia GPU? I have the proprietary drivers installed, but the instructions above are for an ATI chipset. Could someone give me some suggestions as to how to get it running?

Install the 64-bit CUDA toolkit (doesn't matter 3.2 or 4.0) and then grab a CUDA-capable miner such as poclbm (see his thread).

It looks like gusti has you covered, but there is also a Fedora 14 howto here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.45364.

Excellent. Thanks Gusti. I'll try it when I get home.

you need to manually install ati drivers
this is complete instalation procedure with diablominer, from FC14 fresh install :

Code:

cd /
yum install -y gcc-c++.i686 mesa-dri-drivers-experimental.i686 mesa-libOSMesa-devel.i686 mesa-libGLU.i686 mesa-libGLU-devel.i686 mesa-libGLU.i686 mesa-libGLU-devel.i686 libglfw.i686 mesa-libGLU.i686 mesa-libGLU-devel.i686 libglfw.i686 mesa-libGLU.i686 mesa-libGL.i686 mesa-libGLw-devel.i686 mesa-libGL-7.9-5.fc14.i686 mesa-libGLU.i686 mesa-libGLU-devel.i686 mesa-libGLw-devel.i686 mesa-libGL-devel.i686 mesa-libGLU.i686 mesa-libGLU-devel.i686 libglfw.i686 mesa-libGL-devel-7.9-5.fc14.i686 mesa-libGL-7.9-5.fc14.i686 mesa-libGL-devel-7.9-5.fc14.i686 mesa-libGL-7.9-5.fc14.i686 mesa-libGL-devel-7.9-5.fc14.i686 kernel-PAE-devel.i686 java gcc python kernel-devel kernel-PAE-devel.i686 iptraf mc wget

Does anyone have any tips for getting OpenCL mining going under Fedora 14?

I'm roughly following the Ubuntu instructions and I'm at the part where it says to remove existing ATI drivers, so:

rpm -qa | grep ati
...
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.1-0.4.20100705git37b348059.fc14.i686

If I try to remove the package, it wants to remove the xorg-x11-drivers too, which I'm afraid will break my system:

sudo yum remove xorg-x11-drv-ati
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
