F10 -> F11 X server problem with /dev/fb0

I finally got my local X server to work, but changing the Driver vesa 
was not enough.  Here's the xorg.conf file I used to get a display...

Section "Screen"
   Identifier "Screen0"
   Device     "Card0"
   Monitor    "Monitor0"
   DefaultDepth 24
   SubSection "Display"
     Depth     24
     Modes     "1280x1024"
   EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier   "Monitor0"
   HorizSync    36-52
   VertRefresh  36-60
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Card0"
   Driver      "vesa"
EndSection

I had to put the monitor H sync and V refresh rates in the file for this 
to work.  I did this because I saw 36-0 values in the log and thought it 
was strange.  Is this worthy of a bug report?

So I guess the initial problem was, the new xorg nouveau NVIDIA driver 
doesn't work with my nVidia Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 LE].  Should 
I file a bug report with Fedora or xorg?
