Thanks, that provides more useful information....
I'm guessing it may be the Video drivers. I've seen several posts recently about the NVidia drivers and mouse problems with FC3. Basic lockup issues and mysterious reboots and the like. Something to try.... Get a generic video card to test with.... STAY AWAY from ATI and NVidia Chipsets. This will help eliminate any video driver issues. Another thing to try.... Use the init level 3 instead of 5. If you have problems with crashes still, you know it is related to something other than the video drivers. The text mode is much less stressful for the video drivers.
Post a message to NVidia describing your problem, if not already done. They should support the drivers they have.... and wait for the BIG wheels to turn.
Good Luck, James Kosin
PS: I always have similar problems with my ATI card... and installing FC? and running X right out of the BOX. The install always goes fine weather in Graphical mode or Text mode.
