In the meanwhile I found this (I guess if I were more involved in the community I would have figured out this resource before: sorry to have created a bit of noise...):: http://fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/nvidia-yum-kmod Point 9.1 - 9.4 should build a init RAM drive without the nouveau drivers, if I understood it right. >> 2.

Ok, thanks for the tip, I know what to expect eventually at the next kernel update :) >> 3. At boot time I get the following error: >> Enabling the nvidia driver: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 526: NNNN >> Segmentation fault "$@" [FAILED] >> where NNNN is a 4 random digits. >> Nevertheless, the nvidia drivers seem to load (I see the nvidia logo) >> and work (3d works: desktop effects, opengl screensavers...).

Or look for that issue at RPMFusion's related talks. I'm using F12 and did not get the problem. I'll have a look at the rc scripts in the directory... not sure whether I can manage it though... :) I have limited resources (time!) these days and I have been rather far from active involvement in "computer stuff" in the recent years...
