I already tried the nVidia IA32 driver, for I presume I have 32-bits FC4, it was the only one available on ftp.free.fr , if I'm not wrong, at the time I downloaded it. With the IA32 nVidia driver, I have get exactly the same problem as now, before uninstalling it to return to the vesa driver. I send the xorg.conf content according to the problem: ------------------------------------------------------------- # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.

The problem occurs only when I startx as normal user, when I startx as root all goes fine. Thank you very much for your help. Best regards. Jean Francois Ortolo
