I haven't but I need to
but not with all the yum mirrors down !!

Its been a painful story
Installed F9 on a machine with old Matrox G550 graphics card
X will only give 800x600 Resolution !!!!

Bought a cheap nvidia card - runs slowly with nv driver !!!
livna not rebuilding nvidia at the moment!!!!

The machine dual boots F8 (Stable) and now F9
so I need to get it going for F8 as well as F9

Half way there
