 Hi All,

Paul, as stated, this happens with any kernel. I guess I'm using whatever 
nVidia drivers that Fedora recognized the 1st time I installed/booted. Why 
does this happen with only some kernels..? Shouldn't the developers be 
looking out for this kind of thing..? Damn annoying.

P.S. I don't think it was just the kernel that was updated, as I did a yum 
update. Cheers.
