(this is probably a little off target ... but maybe close enough to be useful) Suggestion: Go back to 1.0-4496 Explanation: FWIW, I have an RH 9 box (don't have an nvidia in the fedora1 box) which had exactly the same problem - 1.0-4496 ran perfectly; I upgraded to 1.0-5336 and the upgrade appeared to run perfectly. After the upgrade, I, too, got apermanently blank screen. SO I backed the new version out and went back to 1.0-4496 and everything was OK. I repeated the install of 1.0-5336 and had the same results again, so I went back to the previous version and will stay there until the next nvidia version comes out (or until the acclerated xfree86 drivers are working). Good luck, -- bill austin waustin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx have you been mauled by your airedale today?
