That is old news.
There seems to be no date on that, but it seems I remember it from
possibly as much as 6 months ago. I am not sure if the problems he
described there continue to exist in new installs from nvidia since I
have not installed that driver direct from nvidia on my FC5 system. I
believe there have been 2 updated releases of the nvidia driver since
his post of that.
He says that when using the driver from livna the problems noted are
fixed so most won't have a problem. I personally never saw the problems
he notes even when I used the driver directly from nvidia.
