Hi Robert,

You were right: the problem was broader than OSG. The fix was to modify 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf so that these 2 lines were in the "Files" section:


Code:
Section "Files"
         ModulePath "/usr/lib64/nvidia/xorg"
         ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection

(Sorry I just saw this thread...)

You could also put that little blurb somewhere in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, since a static xorg.conf isn't as flexible.

I should note that I also use Fedora 18 exclusively, and I do it with no problems at all. I use two different builds of OSG, one of which uses my Intel card/GLES2-only and another which is routed through Bumblebee and uses the NVidia "optimus" technology on my T410. All of this works flawlessly, and I even get about 3-5 hours of battery life, depending on how hard I'm pushing the machine.

Of course, this could have something to do with working for a company whose sole purpose is to put Linux on laptops and make them work well, but. :)

(Another interesting note: when we install the NVidia drivers here on our machines, we don't even run the binary they provide; we just extract it into /opt/emperor, touch a few configs to add the appropriate library paths, and configure bumblebee to search the right directories; no existing RPM files are modified, as it is our policy to avoid futzing with the core in any way...)

I hope this helps some other F18 users (until this bug is fixed).

Cheers,
Stuart
