Hmm, I've got it explicitly enabled, and I can run it with my NVidia
card.  I wonder if that requirement depends on which card it is?  I see
comments in the thread that it needs disabling with the legacy driver, I
thought mine was one of the legacy drivers.

Darned if I can work out all their packaging shenanigans.  It'd be
easier if they had one package, and it's installing routines picked the
right driver from its contents for the job.  I noticed, too, that the
different packages (for other cards) had different contents in other
ways (i.e. some documentation versus none).

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.
