Hello Again,
Well, no luck so far... But here are some excerpts from log files
that might
help someone see what my problem is:
First, the output of 'grep -i "nvidia" messages':

Your insight is greatly appreciated.
It seems you`re loading nouveau instead of nvidia. If that`s the case,
you might have to blacklist nouveau kernel module somehow (which seems
odd considering that I didn't have to do anything). Did you install
F13 from scratch or did you upgrade from F12?
I`m not at home right now so I can`t check my configuration files, but
I`ll do that as soon as I can and see if that's anything that could
help you.
Regards,
Andre
I am thinking that your problem is nouveau must be blacklisted in the
grub.conf file
http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia
See the Fedora 12/13 install guide for the instruction to install
Selinix protection must be lowered to allow the nvidia driver to load and
rdblacklist=nouveau must be added to the kernel lines after quiet
These steps should be done before a reboot
I have not installed F 13 yet but I suspect I will have to disable the
nvidia drivers and reactivate nouveau before I attempt the upgrade.
After installation of F 13 then install nvidia drivers again
