Upon my first reboot the startup would halt with the flickering white bar. Rebooting mystically fixed it and I'm definitely running nvidia withour nouveau: $ lsmod | grep nouveau $ lsmod | grep nvidia nvidia 9318413 40 mbp_nvidia_bl 1755 0 i2c_core 20553 3 nvidia,videodev,i2c_nforce2 Looking at xorg.0.log however I find the following errors at the end (everything else in the log looks alright to me): [ 29.046] RANDR failure: 8 (extension base 174) [ 29.047] 088ae690 088ae694 088ae698 088ae69c [ 29.047] 088ae6a0 088ae6a4 088ae6a8 088ae6ac [ 29.047] 088ae6b0 088ae6b4 088ae6b8 088ae6bc [ 29.048] 088ae6c0 088ae6c4 088ae6c8 088ae6cc ... <loads of ouput similar to the above> ...

Hard to tell now since I don't have the problem now... My graphics card is a dual head; could that be causing me trouble? I'm curious to see how long I can run this system now before it fails again... best, /Henrik -- 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
