They have other ways to see what kernels are being built. They also should
notice that the testing version is older and that some sort of oops occured
and not waste their time making a kmod for it.

I have since checked what kernel were lately installed. I have:

2.6.32.10-90.fc12.x86_64
2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64
2.6.32.12-115.fc12.x86_64

So the kernel in testing is definitely a big oops! You're right, they shouldn't have wasted their time on this.

Fedora pretty much does say people should use Nouveau.

Pretty much... Now hat it has some basic 3D support.
 
You continue to complain to the wrong people. RPMFusion supports the
rpms for the proprietary nVidia drivers and if you want anything to
change, you should be complaining to them, as they are the ones that
need to fix things.

I wrote to a certain Dan at rpmfusion, but I dougt I'll get an answer. I'm sure rpmfusion is fully aware that they don't offer teh nvidia module for the present kernel. and I would make a bet that people at Fedora are well aware of what's going on.
