    I have had a similar but more serious problem after installing the
    recent updated mentioned in the bug report. But I am not using nVidia
    drivers. I have a Radeon 7000 card and am using the default drivers that
    come with FC2.

    My problem occured yesterday when I tried loging out of KDE. I recieved
    an error message saying the greeter had crached. After clicking OK on
    the error dialogue the greeter tried to restart but the error ocurred
    again. I had to leave for work at that time so I just shut off the
    computer. When I arrived home from work I could not get anything
    graphical to work. Not even the graphical boot would start. I them
    booted into windows and tryed to google for some information on the
    problem but didn't find anything useful at that time. So, I took drastic
    measures and completely reinstalled FC2. Though a bit of a pain for
    other reasons it did solve the problem and all things graphical are
    working again. I have since updated everything except xorg-x11 stuff and
    everything continues to work. Of course, I'm now scared to death to
    updated anything having to do with xorg-x11 :) I hope this information
    will help sort out the problem.

    Also, I am still just in the learning stages of getting to know Linux
    and I realize there was probably a better way of getting FC2 to work
    again instead of reinstalling it. So, if anyone would like offer
    suggestions on how I could have handled this in a better way, please do :)

    Thanks,
    HD
