I built one workstation with Nvidia driver a while ago - otherwise we crank out render nodes all on FC14 - and all work 100% - I will check tomorrow if we can remember how we did the one WS, which Nvidia driver etc... - BTW one thing I HAVE noticed is that you should update BIOS, we had lots of problems before with nodes untill we did that!
I will see tomorrow if I can dig out which Nvidia driver I used! Evening time here now and I am at home.

I've had the problem on Fedora14 that softimage would start up after a reboot but will hang if I open it a second time in the same session. After rebooting again, it started up again. But then, this was in a virtual machine with no NVIDIA drivers. Do you guys have a running setup of a virtual fedora14 with nvidia drivers? if so, HOW??????? vladimir On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 6:18 PM, Stephen Blair <stephen.bl...@autodesk.com<mailto:stephen.bl...@autodesk.com>> wrote: Hanging while drawing the viewports often indicates a problem with the graphic card display driver.
