Thanks for the help.

My packages from the update are:
deltarpm-3.5-0.4.20090913git.fc11.1
pam-devel-1.0.91-9.fc11
libsidplay-1.36.57-21.fc11
authconfig-gtk-6.0.0-2.fc11
vte-0.20.5-2.fc11
authconfig-6.0.0-2.fc11
pam-1.0.91-9.fc11

I looked over them, and none of them would affect graphics setup.

But this morning it seems my Quake 4 is working again !!!
I'm thinking it was a temporary video card issue, or other hardware

Thanks for your help & I learned another Linux command.
One day I'll have enough experience to actually contribute back.

I'm still deciding on how to contribute back.
I'm kinda hesitant to begin any task, since starting anything seems
very tough, and would require a lot of commitment.

I guess they're all excuses, but hey.
New Years Resolutions are just around the corner, and I'm finalizing
my Bash Scripts that help with my Dungeons & Dragons game...

Thanks again
