I just get a black screen and an error message in Xorg.0.log saying: "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so: undefined symbol: resVgaShared" A Google search of this message shows that it has something to do with X Server 1.7. I've switched to the nouveau driver just to get my system running, and I'm considering installing the binary package directly from NVidia for the 172.14.22 driver, which is supposed to support X Server 1.7. For anyone else running the legacy NVidia drivers from ATrpms be forewarned that you will probably have issues if you try to upgrade to Fedora 12. John
