Generate some traffic here:

        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=351661

and let's see if we can't get some action on the vesa driver.  If you
can, update the version to 9, otherwise, include the fact that it is F9
in your comment.

Team Fedora won't help with the nVidia driver issue.  For that, check
out the nVidia fora.
