So are you saying that a box that was already using proprietary nvidia (from rpmfusion) was switched to using nouveau? Was this update via anaconda or just yum update to F11? (I'm considering yum update and do not want my graphics to break).
Sequence of events: Started with working F10 box using nVidia driver from rpmfusion Mobo is an Asus P5k with a Q6600 processor and 4GB of ram Had a number of other repos installed as well including livna, kde-redhat, kwizart, remi, and adobe Ran preupgrade - all seemed to run well but when the machine came back up after the upgrade, there was no video Suspecting the nVidia driver, I removed it; suspecting nouveau, I removed it; suspecting nv, I removed it - that removed all suspicion that this was a video problem since even the vesa driver wouldn't produce a display Some message during this got me onto suspecting something amiss with KDE Booting into X using GDM and Gnome worked! Reinstalling nv worked, and subsequently, reinstalling nouveau also worked Yum had multiple issues that I won't go into so ended up reconfiguring my smart channels and using smart to run an update this morning - that fixed KDE and now I'm up on KDE and nouveau - I'm going to run that way for awhile and see how nouveau does - I do run Cinelerra on this machine, so I'll have to see how that goes
