I did see that, yes. I'm not using any "test" drivers, that I'm aware of. My video card is an Nvidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400. For what it's worth, I'm (finally) looking at my my Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old. Xorg.0.log.old ends with: (II) Loader running on linux (++) using VT number 7 Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call While Xorg.0.log, which is created one minute later (after running init 3 ; init 5) runs successful. Might be some sort of timing issue...but I can't imagine what might be causing such a time-out. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
