Hi, It was trying to use 'nvidia' driver. It works when I set it to use 'nv'. About whether the module is loaded. I am not quite sure. I do not want to reboot my machine again coz then I will have to do every thing from scrach again. But I can remember that the error log had an error saying that some module did not load. I think it was "glx". Not too sure about this though. I guess I will submit this to the "fedora-list" and see whether they have any thing to say about it. Best Regards, Chamil Thanthrimudalige.
