I am hoping someone may be able to throw some light on this. I had (and now have restored) F12 (x86_64) working with the nouveau driver. I have been watching for the nvidia drivers to make it into the RPMfusion repo and they have now done so and last night I installed the 173 legacy driver (as required for my ancient graphics card!) Result - plymouth intro followed by black screen. I rebooted into level 3 and uninstalled the nvidia drivers and tried again - same result. Following advice I got here previously, I rebooted to level 3, deleted xorg.conf and then ran startx, which worked. However, on closing, I got a string of error messages and then on booting up, the black screen again. Finally, I repeated the above and from the gui (GNOME) made a new user. Since then things have worked normally. Why? It seems more like black magic than IT. I have attached the error log and the default xorg.conf file, for expert perusal. It doesn't mean a whole lot to me. thanks in advance for any comments -- N James Bridge <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
