I'd like to thank Nvidia for wasting another hour of my life this

stupid, idiotic driver system that I could have saved enough time in the
last 2 years to go on a week's vacation !
Yesterday I absentmindedly ran "yum update". Stupid me, I didn't watch
it and apparently a new kernel got installed (2835).

Nvidia, its time to realease some code to the open source community or
suffer the consequences. The present situation is totally
unacceptable.
Funny, this is the problem I had with ATI for almost a month before I
purchased an nVidia card and was up and running in less than 30 minutes.
I have only nVidia in all my new computers. :)
It all has to do with the threat of litigation. Blame the US for making
it legal to patent software.
FWIW, people around work are having problems with the latest ATI drivers
in Windows as well.
