IF .... I start with init level 3 ( I append 3 at the kernel parameters in grub ). Starting with init level 5 does not have the problem. Of course, when running 2.6.22.9-91.fc7, I still dont have the nvidia binary module installed for that kernel yet, so I start it at run level 3 ( also by appending 3 at the kernel parameters in grub ).
