I'm trying to blame this on the nvidia drivers, but I noticed that YOU also updated kde_base, so this lockup might be a kde problem instead...
One other thing noted: the original nvidia driver off the CD didn't present a splash screen at startup, while the updated one did.
I'll keep posting what I learn from the process. I'd love to hear what others are experiencing, too!

Actually I kind of had learning pains with the Nvidia card on my new computer with 7.3. Was hoping with the 8.0 release it would go a little easier. With 8.0 I just let YOU do it's thing and setup the card with Sax and it works fine for me. I ran 3Ddiag and got the following report back: Verifying 3D configuration based on XFree86 4 for 3D board "nVidia Coorporation GeForce3_1 (10de@0201)": Tests for package "NVIDIA_kernel": package ... done. package files ... done. Tests for package "NVIDIA_GLX": package ... done. package files ... done. Tests for correct OpenGL libraries/GLX extensions: Symbolic Links ... done. /etc/sysconfig/3ddiag (SCRIPT_3D=switch2nvidia_glx) ... done. Test for correct XFree86 version ... done. Tests for XFree86 configuration: Config File /etc/X11/XF86Config ... done. Driver ... done. So it appears everything is as it should be.
