(Well directly it didn't. Indirectly...) That gave me the idea to go into my BIOS and disable the following: (Under Advanced Chipset Options): Intel VT-d Intel I/OAT (Under Processor & Clock Options): Intel(R) Virtualization Tech I then rebooted, and now the nVidia driver works on my system! So, is there a regression somewhere with the way that Fedora deals with virtualization technologies that are a part of the processor itself? If anyone knows of a bug that fits the scenario laid out in this thread, including the changes that I made that allowed it all to work again, please let me know. If not, tell me exactly what component a bug should be filed against. Thanks to all of you for your help! Steven P. Ulrick P.S.: I intend on playing around with my BIOS in the near future to see if I really need to have all three of those options disabled. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
