Today when I rebooted the computer wouldn't start (same flickering white bar). Running nvidia-xconfig solved the problem. I will now make a copy of my current xorg.conf and compare it to one that is corrupt. Hopefully that will tell me what the problem is and maybe what causes it. Should anyone have a better suggestion, please let me know. /h -- 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
