report nvidia problems to nvidia. only they have the source to debug this.
ok, thanks that was easy. I guess we know for certain that nvidia is to blame dispite the fact I have using livna kmods & FC5 kernels together since day-one w/o this issue. This problem seems wide spread in the world outside of bugzilla so Im guessing people are not bothering to report it in the hope that FC6 will make it go away. Hope springs eternal.
