Aha, back with normal resolution again. I did use the nVidia binary installer, I don't recommend that anyone else does so, but if you do, you need to patch it with a patch from the nVidia forums, and as somebody pointed out a bit late for me :-) the modular xorg stuff has moved X's world to /usr/lib64/xorg on my box. You have to copy the nVidia files from /usr/X11R6/lib64 -> /usr/lib64/xorg and /usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/drivers -> /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers. Or you can use the Livna RPM. Apparently the nVidia installer as it is can crap up 3D, I don't use 3D so I continue to use The Old Way. -Andy -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> </blockquote> </div>
