The xorg problem can be solved by down loading xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13.i386.rpm's I replaced all 18 !! Maybe there is a better way but !!! Probably in run level 3 after a clean reboot Something like s1=`rpm -qa|grep -i xorg-x11` Double check you really want to do this !!!! echo $s1 rpm --nodeps -e $s1 Then assuming the 18 older versions are available rpm --nodeps -i xorg-x11*.rpm The graphics then works. Whether other problems have been introduced only time will tell!! John
