No problem.

I used the nVidia installer direct from the site.  I don't use 3rd party
repositories because I don't like to get into dependency states to
something that's not official packages (no offense meant to the great
people that maintain those!!).

I'm running 6629.  Now that you mention it, I'm not sure what I was running
under FC1, but it worked fine.  Maybe when I'm feeling adventurous again
I'll try an old version if I can get my hands on it.
