My next strategy is to go ahead and reinstall and use the updated drivers from NVidia and see if that works it out. Upon contact with NVidia I learned that with the 4363 drivers there was an incompatibility issue with Red Hat Linux 9, thus probably the reason why Fedora Core bombed too. I will try it tonight and I will let you know how it goes. Hopefully incompatible drivers are my only problem.

Now to the Fedora Core Team: With the Beta release of Fedora Core I have the same problem with NVidia drivers, and the additional problem is that the screen will splash the NVidia splash screen then all will go black and I have to do a force reboot. Once again upgrading thye NVidia drivers did not clear the problem up. Any suggestions would be helpful, if need be you can write me a private e-mail.
I saw these kinds of problems and tracked it down to Exec Shield a while ago. I don't know if there is some other change that is causing the failure now.
