hi, I have a brand new Lenovo W520 Thinkpad running 64 bit FC15, and I get frequent and random restarts of the X server, regardless of which window manager I am in. my graphics card is the NVidia Quadro 2000M (bios set to discrete mode).
can someone please tell me what the prescribed medication is for this?
thanks,
Keith
