Sure sounds like the nouveau driver has taken over to me. Are you sure you haven't updated the kernel? That's the only way I've seen this happen, although I guess it's possible some other update did it as well. Search the list and google around for 'fedora blacklist nouveau'. This has been brought up many times all over the place. _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list atrpms-users@atrpms.net http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
