It's interesting that it's trying to use the nv driver. Is this a very
old NVIDIA graphics adapter, or do you have an xorg.conf that specifies
nv?
I need to know why it's trying to use nv, to see if this is a bug, and
advise you of the best thing to do next.
Adam,
To answer your question: No xorg.conf file. Whatever is causing this
problem seems to have introduced itself during the F12a -> F12b upgrade.
The W700 has a new nvidia chip, and I suppose it's possible its pci code
isn't properly detected by the nouveau (?) driver in F12b???
I ran into some speed bumps burning a 64-bit DVD. I'm running the media
test now. Should have a fresh test install some time this evening. Will
let you know in a few hours.
