FC12-Alpha
I have A Geforce FX Go5200 that uses the "nv" driver I had no problems with installing this card on a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop , but after I did update it won't go into X .
At the end of /var/log/Xorg.0.log I have this error , and I don't what "kernel module is claiming it" Can some one give a Ideal whats going on
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01@00:00:0 The PCI device has a kernel module claiming it. This driver cannot operate until it has been unloaded (EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error: no screens found
The /var/log/Xorg.0.log file is attached.

It should use nouveau, not nv. Remove the xorg.conf file that specifies nv, and try again. It should auto-detect all relevant settings and load with the nouveau driver.
I agree with Adam. My NVidia card uses the nouveau driver, and Fedora 12 Alpha detected the card and implemented nouveau just fine. I didn't have to do anything special beyond twiddling my thumbs briefly during the installation and Firstboot process. I like the way Xorg now notices my second monitor and extends the desktop onto it.
I did have to retry the installation about 3 times before I got it done right, because my machine is a laptop that is normally on a docking station. I am only just learning how to be laptoppish.

I did as you said, removing xorg.conf and rebooted but it still selected "nv" .
I went into system-config-display and selected "nouveau" but it only allows me a resolution of 640x480 I want to setup at 1024x768 .
I edited xorg.conf and put in a line Modes "1024x768" but when I reboot it takes that line out.

Um. How do you know? How are you checking what driver is in use?

Don't use system-config-display. It's entirely deprecated, especially for RandR 1.2-based drivers. Please remove xorg.conf entirely, don't run system-config-display at all, and tell us what happens when you boot up.

Well I updated and got a new kernel-2.6.31-2.fc12.i686, rebooted new kernel w/o xorg.conf and got no X , below attachment /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
I tryed also to reboot old kernel-2.6.31-0.204 and got a error message just before starting X , "Cannot open Theme file /usr/share/Kde4/apps/kdm/themes/Constantine".

The problem is:
[drm] failed to load kernel module "nouveau" (EE) [drm] drmOpen failed.
have you installed the proprietary driver on this system at any point? is the 'nvidia' kernel module loading and preventing the 'nouveau' kernel module from loading?

No , I have only used the drivers supplied by fc12 .

Perhaps nouveau fails to load for some other reason. Is there anything interesting in dmesg?

There are two lines in dmesg, something about Video. dmesg attached.

That does not help here. Boot your rawhide installation into a level 3 (just append a space and a number 3 at the end of your boot command), or even into a level 1, and then check what dmesg has to say. Once you have a shell prompt then you can try, step by step, to find out what really kills your machine.

Doing a runlevel 3 doesn't help, it doesn't start the Network or lsmod .

I did a level 3 in kernel-2.6.31-2 and it came up it can't find files in /lib/modules, so that is why it wasn't loading modules.I uninstalled this kernel and reinstalled.
And I got it bootup and to the point of this error message ; "Cannot open Theme file /usr/share/Kde4/apps/kdm/themes/Constantine"
There is no Constantine at that location that is why it can't get to the login. Window.
If I do a runlevel 3 , then I can do a "startx" and get into Desktop.
Where is the file /usr/share/Kde4/apps/kdm/themes/Constantine called from ?

/usr/share/Kde4/apps/kdm/themes/Constantine is a Folder that holds the setup files for the Login window , does anyone have this folder in the FC12 install , and could they please "tar" it for me and email it to me.
So I won't have to do a complete reinstall.

Things are crazy goings on here guys. I still have three different kernels installed and every time I switch between them , Selinux always has to do a Relabelling before it can go on .
After it gets to a final point I get a error message;
"Cannot open Theme file /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/Constantine"
and there it locks up. Is there a possibility that Selinux is mislabelling ? It probably wouldn't make any difference to disable Selinux at this point.
I think I'm going to shut down FC12-Alpha and hope it gets more stable by Nov.
I have been using a FC10 Rescue cd to check on FC12 install. I went and found a FC12 Rescue cd , but when I run it it won't allow my Network to be activated, The FC10 rescue cd has no problems on activating my Broadcom B44 card from connecting.
