This is -not- a Fedora issue. It might not be. Do you mean by this that Windows users experience the same problem? I first asked here and only Ed Greshko answered but he had no solution. I didn't have a single answer on the NVIDIA forums. So, yes, it's a rant. I sent the NVIDIA bug report, but the Fedora list system doesn't accept it because it's too long, I suppose. It doesn't appear here: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2010-January/thread.html#start So, here are error messages when I start nvidia-settings: nvidia-settings ERROR: Cannot open display 'localhost.localdomain:0.0'.
