ls -l /var/log/Xorg.*
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 44476 Nov 13 01:43 /var/log/Xorg.0.log
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 44897 Nov 13 01:39 /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old

You are correct, but I still do not have any log output from the initial 
problem.  Both of the Xorg.0.log* files have basically the same output, 
except that the "old" file which shows more elapsed time due to the USB 
problem until the "nv" driver was started.  I had rebooted the system 
about five times since I installed Fedora-14 earlier yesterday.  Shouldn't 
I have one file for each time I completely booted the system, or do these 
files have to be rotated?

I believe that the "nv" driver was initializing correctly, but the slow 
video problem did not go away until I made the USB change in the bios. 
As to why the USB problem effected the video process, I have not a clue. 
The /var/log/messages and other log files contain quite a bit (too much!) 
information about the USB problem, and not much that is video related.
