+Hm,
+the prebuilt modules for 3.3.8 should have been installed along with
+the new kernel.
+
+What does theese commands say:
+
+rpm -qa |grep nvidia
+
+rpm -qa kernel*
+
+
+&gt;<i> X fails also under the new kernel with xdriver=nouveau. Maybe vesa
+</I>&gt;<i> would work but I did not try that.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Now this sort of problem occurs again and again but on some lucky
+</I>&gt;<i> occasions dkms (?) comes into action at the reboot and recompiles the
+</I>&gt;<i> module and all is well. Why should it be so hit and miss, mostly
+</I>&gt;<i> miss?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+dkms will only work if matching kernel-*-devel are installed...

+
+&gt;<i> To send this I have had to choose the 3.3.6 kernel at boot time.
