FC2 Problems - Trying to avoid complete re-install

[Mark A. Hoover]

I recently decided to upgrade my system running FC1 to FC2.  Between the 
two versions, I've run into the following problems:

The "Games" menu that originally only showed up off the original 
"RedHat" menu now shows up in the following locations:

RedHat -> System Settings
RedHat -> System Settings -> Server Settings
RedHat -> Preferences

I also have a RedHat -> Other with a few of the menu items from the 
games menu.

In addition, my Logitech Wireless mouse stopped working (although, I was 
able to fix this by upgrading from the stock 2.6.5 kernel to 2.6.8. 
However, 2.6.8 apparently doesn't play nice with the nVidia driver, so 
when X starts up all I get is a black screen.

Hoping to try and fix the nVidia issue, I ran up2date on the system and 
upgraded x.org.  Now my volume properties don't work complaining that 
there isn't a sound mixer.  Attempting to re-detect the soundcard using 
the applet doesn't seem to fix it.

I also seem to have lost the ability to have keyboard repeat.  If I try 
to turn it on, I get a message about the following:

An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for 
gnome-settings-daemon. Some of your configuration settings may not work 
properly.

Type mismatch: Expected `int' got `float' for key 
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/rate
Type mismatch: Expected `int' got `float' for key 
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/delay


At this point I'm debating the thought of re-installing the entire 
system, but doing to so fix linux issues just seems so wrong to me.

If anybody has any thoughts on this, I'd appreciate the help.
