Hello,
The install of F8 RC3 when just fine. When I reboot and after its have entered rhgb I just get a black screen with cursor flashing at the bottom. After that I changed to runlevel 3 and removed rhgb + quiet from grub.conf
When I now try to startx my monitor just suspends. I'm able to get by to a vt by killing it with ctrl+alt+backsp. I've attached the xorg.0.log
I didn't have any problems when I run F7 nor when I tried F7 with some of the xorg F8-test packages...

This was a bug in RC3 that's fixed in the final release.
It's on the test page for F8 Final: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/8/FinalTreeTesting
All you had to do was reboot again to get the system working properly.

Try updating selinux-policy-targeted, make sure your default runlevel is 5 again, and reboot. You might want to revert back to 'rhgb quiet' at boot.

I'm aware of this bug.

I updated rhgb + selinux-policy-targeted yesterday but that didn't help me anything. [root@jackpot ~]# rpm -q selinux-policy-targeted rhgb selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.8-44.fc8 rhgb-0.17.7-3.fc8
I forgot to mention that when I kill the xorg I return to a screwed up vc. when I switch to Alt+fnOther I can login and after the login the screen resets okay.
Another thing I forgot to mention is that changing from nv => vesa allows me to startx.

Okay, replaying to my self.
I've now on F8 with all updates as of 8/11. I've tried it on another nvidia laptop with a "G72M [GeForce Go 7400]" and get the same result. The first laptop had an "Quadro NVS 110M / GeForce Go 7300" Here is an image how the screen looks like when I startx:

Any hints on how to debug this would be cool. I've tried to downgrade xserver to the in F7updates but I still get the same problem. Perhaps its not the driver it self that is the problem!?!
Vesa driver works okay on both laptops, albeit with wrong resoultion

I'm the kind of guy who yells at the microwave for being slow! "Hurry up! Go, go, GO! Do I look like I have all of a minute? Move it!"
Heheheheheh! :-)
