Hi

I've instaled fedora 3 on a Pc with nvidia graphics card and now there is a
weird situation:

from time to time, the screen turns blanck for about 1 second and then it
cames on again... this happens while the computer is been used and not only
when is not used for a few minutes.
I didn't put the nvidia module working, it stayed with the "nv" module... (I
think the "nvidia" module does not work with kernel 2.6.9 yet... even the
nvidia 6629)

Does anybody knows what is the source of this problem?
Could be xorg? Or just the power-saving functions? Or a problem with the
"nv" module of 2.6.9 kernel?
What can be done to solve it?

Best regards
Amarok
