Over the last week or more my rawhide AMD x86_64 system w/nvidia
GeForce
8600 card has not been working correctly. If I use nv driver, X will not
start and just hangs showing the last startup text. CTL-ALT-F2 will get a
login screen. If I use vesa driver, it also hangs, but shows weird lines on
top and old startup text on bottom of screen. CTL-ALT-F2 gives a black
screen with no login prompt. I must do reset to restart machine. If I use
the nouveau driver, X will start, but the screen is very dark. I am able to
login to kde or gnome. I am at the 118 kernel. I think the last one that
worked was in the 60's. Anybody have something to try? Any idea what is
broke?
Could you try the following kernel builds from koji and report:

Please install with:
