(This is my second freevo system - the other one is working flawlessly except the tux skin - another story). I don't use the -fs option.

However, I have now changed it to 1920x1080 and the symptom seems to have gone away. However, when I start a movie (I use xine as my preferred player), and hit q, the whole system freezes. I have not had this issue before. Xine works without issues outside of freevo.

I didn't have to make any changes to my xorg with respect to the nvidia driver. I just works with Fedora 10. I get very sharp playback and smooth HD content as well with the nvidia driver. > > HTH > Duncan > It helped a lot.
