Somebody in the thread at some point said: >> 1. Should I just leave the "nv" driver well enough alone ? > I do not know the nv your talking about. The "nv" driver comes with Xorg and installed with Fedora if you installed X at all: it's an Open Source driver for nVidia that was apparently written by some nVidia folks. If it supports your nVidia chip, it works solidly for everything it covers, which is pretty much everything except 3D acceleration and multiple monitor support. (It includes the important xv video acceleration support for example). You don't have to meddle with kernel modules or rebuilding the nVidia binary driver on kernel changes if you use nv. To try it just change the Driver line in the "Device" section to "nv". -Andy
