It might not be. Do you mean by this that Windows users experience the
same problem?

I first asked here and only Ed Greshko answered but he had no
solution. I didn't have a single answer on the NVIDIA forums. So, yes,
it's a rant.

I sent the NVIDIA bug report, but the Fedora list system doesn't
accept it because it's too long, I suppose. It doesn't appear here:

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2010-January/thread.html#start

So, here are error messages when I start nvidia-settings:

nvidia-settings

ERROR: Cannot open display 'localhost.localdomain:0.0'.


ERROR: Unable to assign attribute CursorShadow specified on line 21 of
configuration file '/root/.nvidia-settings-rc' (no Display connection).


ERROR: Unable to assign attribute CursorShadowAlpha specified on line 22 of
configuration file '/root/.nvidia-settings-rc' (no Display connection).


Etc. (no Display connection) until line 57

=================

Here are some parts of the bug report that could be of interest
(honestly, I do my best but have no idea):

(WW) Jan 16 14:31:36 NVIDIA(0): The EDID for SONY TV (DFP-1)
