    Hi. I think you have a Nvidia driver problem. Please go to the web 
page and d/l the Linux bash file they have and run it on your F8. I 
think you will be amazed. The bash file I use is called:

[karl at k5di nvidia]$ ls
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run
[karl

It works fine on F7 and F8

Karl
