I'd like to thank Nvidia for wasting another hour of my life this
morning ! I am pretty sure that if it wasn't for Nvidia and their
stupid, idiotic driver system that I could have saved enough time in the
last 2 years to go on a week's vacation !

Yesterday I absentmindedly ran "yum update". Stupid me, I didn't watch
it and apparently a new kernel got installed (2835).

When I rebooted this morning, startx wouldn't run without a bunch of
errors ! Hmmm... uname -a tells me, surprise, we are now running kernel
2835 ! Yippee !

This is a puzzle to me - after all as far as I know kernel 2835 is still in
updates-testing and not released into updates yet (as of 1 minute ago at least
when I checked the main Fedora repo site!)

Hence it might be that you have updates-testing enabled when you ought not to?
