I am preparing to upgrade to FC2 from FC1 and I am currently using the

automatically revert to the 2d nvidia driver? Or do I need to do
something before upgrading? I don't mind just using the 2d driver for
a while since I only occasionally use 3d. But I don't want anything to
go badly wrong during or after the upgrade to fc2.
I'm posting this running FC2 and the 5336 Nvidia driver.
I have a quick and dirty Nvidia installation HOWTO in my blog over here:

Your milage may vary, but I'll post it here anyway in hope that it'll
help someone
Thanks you very much! This information will all be very helpful when I
get to that point.
But I guess I didn't ask my initial question clearly enough or perhaps
I am simply asking the wrong question. What I am actually wanting to
know... Once I have upgraded to FC2 and before I am able to recompile
the Nvidia kernel module for the new kernel... will X work? And Will
FC2 with it's new kernel be using the nv driver until I get 5336 one
complied and installed? If not what will I actually be seeing?
Ah, ok, getting it now, slow brainday, sorry :-)
The installer on the FC2 disks won't be using the Xserver on your HDD,
so yeah, during the installation it'll be using the 'nv'
driver. I'm not entirely sure how it will behave after the
installation though, but my guess is it will rewrite the X config
file and keep using the 'nv' driver until you recompile the Nvidia one.

Thanks, guess I'll have to keep my fingers crossed :)
