That's what I have to do, whenever I try to enable kmod-nvidia. Reboot in
runlevel 3, nano my xorg.conf and runlevel 5. It's been a mess and I can't
do any of the cool stuff that I want to - Compiz, Wine (SWGEmu), VirtualBox,
etc. Redhat's Bugzilla folks have been no help and even RPM Fusion Bugzilla
folks haven't helped any. Right now I'm just sitting around, waiting for a
magical update that will fix my video issues. I must have installed Fedora
11, three times, thinking it was something else.

I think VirtualBox needs 3-D driver support in order to compile. I haven't
confirmed it, so now when I work from home, I have to log into my Windows
partition to do my day job. I miss "living" in Linux and switching my
desktop to do my "windows" work.
