Well, my system is mostly updated.  Have hit the Next Great Snag. :-)

[root@janet ~ ]# rpm -qa|egrep nvidia
dkms-nvidia-current-280.13-4-mdv2011.0.x86_64
nvidia-current-doc-html-280.13-4-mdv2011.0.x86_64

There's the current drivers.  I've run XFdrake in the console window and
select "test," and a nice graphic display comes up with the little "Is
this correct?" window with the yes/no button to click on and all that
comes up just fine.  However, actually issuing a "telinit 5" results in
a few messages, but then nothing - no GUI.  Hitting F12 to bring up the
syslog reveals the following message:

> Oct 24 16:52:05 janet init: Switching to runlevel: 5
> Oct 24 16:52:06 janet udevd[2121]: kernel-provided name 'capi' and NAME=
=3D 'capi/' disagree, please use SYMLINK+=3D or change the kernel to prov=
ide the proper name

> Oct 24 16:52:06 janet kdm[6991]: X server for display :0 cannot be star=
ted, session disabled

So, any ideas on what's causing the current headache, and what can be
done to clear it up?
