Okay.... We could do that. It's 625 lines long, but I think I figured
out what may be happening. I am using an old Tyan motherboard that has a
problem with the USB logic. I keep getting over current warnings. So
tonight I reset the bios to configure the included USB ports to only run
at USB version 1.1 speeds, which stopped the warnings and other USB
related errors. I could have disabled the ports, but I need them to
connect the printer and other devices. Those ports are supposed to
support 2.0 speeds.
Well, after making the bios change, rebooting the system and then checking
the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, I discovered that the "nv" driver did
indeed load and is working properly. The video display is working pretty
much the way it worked with the Fedora 12 distribution. So, I am a happy
camper.
Thank you for telling me about the Xorg log file. I should have saved the
old log file that showed the problem, but it gets rewritten during the
boot process.
