Hello Again,<br>
Well, no luck so far... But here are some excerpts from log files that
might<br>
help someone see what my problem is:<br>
<br>
First, the output of 'grep -i "nvidia" messages':<br>
<br>

Your insight is greatly appreciated.<br>

It seems you`re loading nouveau instead of nvidia. If that`s the case,
you might have to blacklist nouveau kernel module somehow (which seems
odd considering that I didn't have to do anything). Did you install F13
from scratch or did you upgrade from F12?<br>
<br>
I`m not at home right now so I can`t check my configuration files, but
I`ll do that as soon as I can and see if that's anything that could
help you.<br>

I am thinking that your problem is nouveau must be blacklisted in the
grub.conf file<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia">http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia</a><br>
<br>
See the Fedora 12/13 install guide for the instruction to install<br>
<br>
Selinix protection must be lowered to allow the nvidia driver to load
and<br>
<br>
rdblacklist=nouveau must be added to the kernel lines after quiet<br>
<br>
These steps should be done before a reboot<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I have not installed F 13 yet but I suspect I will have to disable the
nvidia drivers and reactivate nouveau before I attempt the upgrade.<br>
<br>
After installation of F 13 then install nvidia drivers again<br>
