Nope it was loading and un-loading pulseaudio that screwed it up. Those stupid rpm's sent out by Fedora are MADE with the thing I used. You can't get it in your heads that Nvidia built the video hardware and they are good enough to provide a driver for both Windows and Linux. If it doesn't work on Fedora, it's a Fedora problem!This is hard to explain, but in a non-root terminal I put glxinfo | grep direct and my screen went blank, much like it does with google earth, and after a few seconds I had to reboot from init level 3!It appears glxinfo is not working right on my F8.Hate to tell you, but if running glxinfo causes your machine to drop to init 3 (i.e. X dies) then your system is terminally unwell. This is not normal.If I recall correctly you have installed the nvidia driver yourself, using the nvidia installer ? I would suggest this is screwed up.Chris
