Good afternoon,
I'm curious: is there a way to test the gpu? If yes, how?

The first lsmod gave no output. The second gives:
---------------
bash.2[~]: lsmod | grep -i nouveau
nouveau 989091 3
i2c_algo_bit 13257 1 nouveau
drm_kms_helper 50210 1 nouveau
ttm 80402 1 nouveau
mxm_wmi 12865 1 nouveau
drm 272504 5 ttm,drm_kms_helper,nouveau
i2c_core 34242 5 drm,i2c_i801,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,nouveau
video 19052 2 nouveau,asus_wmi
wmi 18697 3 mxm_wmi,nouveau,asus_wmi
bash.3[~]:
---------------
That confirms my system is using nouveau.

Tomorrow morning, I'll first do my weekly Fedora-19 updates and scans, then I'll try the nVidia driver install. By the way, there's also a web page there for Fedora-19. Unless you advise otherwise, I'll follow the Fedora-19 page's process.
Thank-you for your help so far, Rick.
