Re: Fedora core 13 on Dell Vostro 3500 with i5 -- NVIDIA(R) Geforce™ 310M

Hello,

You'll have to give some more information. First how you installed nvidia
drivers and second what errors is throwing xorg in startup to not being able
to boot. You can use the next command in console and post/attach the output:
    cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | egrep "[E|W]{2}"

You can store it to a file this way (the last part is the path to the file):
    cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | egrep "[E|W]{2} > /tmp/xorg_errors.txt

Also you might found aditional configuration steps here:
