Given that X locks up when running xine, mplayer and kaffeine, I tried
to install the nvida driver from the web site again. Now it builds and
installs although it took several attempts and I also removed the
kmod-nvia and related files. So the nvidia driver "works" but mplayer,
xine, (and I'm assuming) kaffeine cause the system to completely freeze
(so bad you can't get to a console terminal by hitting cntr alt f1)
forcing a hard reboot. I never had problems with FC5 and the proprietary
driver. It's a good thing this is a test unit and not the working HDTV
recorder. At this point I don't see any option but to re-install FC5 and
wait to these problems are resolved.
