Hey Jim,

I upgraded 3 Nvidia equipped boxes from FC1 to FC2 and had no problem.
I just followed the usual kernel upgrading procedure.
But now, I've spent all day to day trying to get the Nvidia drivers to
run (they'll load - at least there are no errors or warnings in
Xorg.0.log - but I get an unresponsive grey screen) on a machine I
upgraded from RH9 to FC2. I'm about ready to pitch the damn thing out
the window...
I'm hoping that atrpms.net makes some FC2 Nvidia RPMS. I've never tried
them, but that's what I'll wait for.
In case anyone sees an obvious clue I'm missing here's the Xorg.0.log
file and the XF86Config file...
