I wonder if that requirement depends on which card it is? I see comments in the thread that it needs disabling with the legacy driver, I thought mine was one of the legacy drivers. [root@bigblack ~]# lspci |grep nVidia 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV25 [GeForce4 Ti 4200] (rev a3) [root@bigblack ~]# rpm -qa \*nvidia\* xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-96xx-1.0.9639-2.lvn7 kmod-nvidia-96xx-1.0.9639-1.2.6.21_1.3228.fc7 Darned if I can work out all their packaging shenanigans. It'd be easier if they had one package, and it's installing routines picked the right driver from its contents for the job. I noticed, too, that the different packages (for other cards) had different contents in other ways (i.e. some documentation versus none).
Composite has never been supported in the 1.0-71xx legacy driver, as the hardware isn't capable of running it. All the drivers ship with the README. I'm not sure what kind of documentation or contents you're claiming to be missing, however if you're using Livna's packaging you should report these problems to them.
