Thanks for looking, Marko - I deleted the Xorg.0.conf file this morning and restarted the machine in runlevel 3 as you originally proposed. I then logged in as the new 'test' user and got the same result. I have created a .pdf of the Xorg.0.log, the dmesg log,m and a truncated messages log (I deleted everything before the reboot) - this is still way too long to post here. If you or anyone else has the time to look, here's a link to it: http://www.tehogeeservices.com/files/Fresh_bootup_logs_101014.pdf I just can't spot a smoking gun in all this - it's a mystery. (of course it might be staring me in the face) The problem with the nouveau bug theory is that this all started while I was still running the rpmfusion version of the proprietary nVidia driver; I reverted to nouveau thinking the nVidia driver was the culprit, but got the exact same behavior with nouveau; I forgot to investigate your chron job theory, but, keep in mind, this was running one moment, for many months, and stopped the next (I'll still check this out when I get home) - dexter suggested re-installing xorg and mesa - does this make sense? -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- 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
