I also. Not happy with nvidia.
However here is a small constructive criticism/suggestion for Fedora.
F9 Release notes, section 21.3 "Third Party Video Drivers", add:
``As of <release-date>, the version of xorg in F9 is incompatible
with certain third party video drivers, including nvidia
<and-others-I-do-not-know-about>.''
That would have saved me a lot of time, and would have been a little
more thoughtful without compromising Fedora's strong stance on closed
source, which I endorse.
Note also, this situation would have been even less painful if
xorg-drv-{nv,nouveau} actually worked sensibly even in 2D. #182517 is
getting pretty old and #234824 is just painful.
Cheers,
