In the 2.6.37 and already pending for the .38 series there's been a lot of tegra drivers make it to the mainline kernel so it will be interesting to see what's missing / remaining / different on the toshiba side of development. > That means that the only way to get accelerated drivers is using the > 2.6.29 kernel and Xorg 1.6.

I suspect until some can fix it you'll need to deal with it yourself. 0.9.8k suffers from numerous vulnerabilities and its not something as a result that would get into mainline fedora. Fedora doesn't promote propriety closed source drivers so its extremely unlikely they'll add an old version of a library to support a closed source binary driver.
