I ran dracut --force and rebooted, but it didn't help. BTW, I also run F15 with full Gnome3 in VBox on my F14 host machine with NVidia drivers (GeForce GT 240), and it works fairly well. I know that NVidia drivers are officially not supported by Fedora, but it is probably supported configuration for Gnome, so I'll try it there. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
