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.
