Ok. In general LKML is for Linux kernel goodness, and since NVIDIA is a private binary-only driver, most people would prefer you post the bug on an NVIDIA list. But, having already started this post... you might check to see if RHGB is on your kernel boot line. I am running FC2 but noticed that even test versions of FC (with non-standard/more modern kernels) will kill the X server if you use the RedHat graphical boot (rhgb) on the kernel line. In my case, I would get the nvidia splash screen, and the graphical boot window showing the system booting, followed by a crash when the system tried to start X. I would get a white screen and no response where the graphical greeter/login is supposed to be. Getting rid of rhgb got rid of the problem. I suspect a race between X wanting to start and rhgb wanting to stop (and not all data structures are free yet). I don't think this problem is related to the transition between XFree86 and X.org. If this 'fix' doesn't apply to you, please ignore it. Thanks,
Bob
