Bingo! Walt, you aced it, thank you. I can now start X via the nouveau driver. The only problem I see in Xorg.0.log is: (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering I see that xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.15_pre20100213 doesn't install that file. It does install the following file, but they don't look interchangeable to me: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so Should /usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so come from CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=y in the kernel (which I have defined)? Does anyone have this file? - Grant
