writing back... I ran RPMFUSION and rebooted no errors... The boot
screen is weird now its a blue bar that turns white as it goes across
the screen to the FEDORA 20 writing on the left in dark blue. then the
screen went black with a _ for about 10 sec. flickered. then log in
screen came up. So I guess this is solved! Thank you !
