Rui probably is giving you real help, just in the longer term than you are 
interested in at the moment.

What I did is use the open source nv driver instead of the binary nVidia one.  
You lose multihead and 3D.  That stung a little since I was using multihead, 
but I have survived ;-)

You can go get and compile a stock kernel from kernel.org.  At least, that 
used to be a solution.

But best of all would be to use the link at the very bottom of the post not to 
unsubscribe, but to search the ml archives here and on fedora-test-list for 
detailed information on the problem.
