Do you know that there are, or should be, three kernels installed on your system? Do you know that the new kernel is the one that does not have the Nvidia module yet? Do you know that the previous kernel, the one that was running when you did the update, is still installed and that it still has the Nvidia module available? Do you know that you can reboot right now and select that older kernel and this video disaster will magically go away? Do you know that you can use this older kernel until the new module for the new kernel is available for download from RPMfusion? -- David
