Okay....  We could do that.  It's 625 lines long, but I think I figured 
out what may be happening.  I am using an old Tyan motherboard that has a 
problem with the USB logic.  I keep getting over current warnings.  So 
tonight I reset the bios to configure the included USB ports to only run 
at USB version 1.1 speeds, which stopped the warnings and other USB 
related errors.  I could have disabled the ports, but I need them to 
connect the printer and other devices.  Those ports are supposed to 
support 2.0 speeds.

Well, after making the bios change, rebooting the system and then checking 
the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, I discovered that the "nv" driver did 
indeed load and is working properly.  The video display is working pretty 
much the way it worked with the Fedora 12 distribution.  So, I am a happy 
camper.

Thank you for telling me about the Xorg log file.  I should have saved the 
old log file that showed the problem, but it gets rewritten during the 
boot process.
