I never understood the problem or the solution.

I recently installed FC8.
At the time, hyperthreading was turned off.
Assuming that the previous problems are fixed,
is it safe to re-enable hyperthreading on a
system that was installed with it turned off?

HT is run-time detected and uses the same kernel. You shouldn't have any issues.

As for the safety issue, you were probably hitting a graphics driver bug (Nvidia, perhaps) that has long since been fixed. Lots of people are using HT with LCD monitors, even with proprietary video drivers, without problems.
