Sequence of events:
Started with working F10 box using nVidia driver from rpmfusion
Mobo is an Asus P5k with a Q6600 processor and 4GB of ram
Had a number of other repos installed as well including livna, 
kde-redhat, kwizart, remi, and adobe
Ran preupgrade - all seemed to run well but when the machine came 
back up after the upgrade, there was no video
Suspecting the nVidia driver, I removed it; suspecting nouveau, I 
removed it; suspecting nv, I removed it - that removed all 
suspicion that this was a video problem since even the vesa 
driver wouldn't produce a display
Some message during this got me onto suspecting something amiss 
with KDE
Booting into X using GDM and Gnome worked!
Reinstalling nv worked, and subsequently, reinstalling nouveau 
also worked
Yum had multiple issues that I won't go into so ended up 
reconfiguring my smart channels and using smart to run an update 
this morning - that fixed KDE and now I'm up on KDE and nouveau - 
I'm going to run that way for awhile and see how nouveau does - I 
do run Cinelerra on this machine, so I'll have to see how that 
goes
