How about this little bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528188 All the developers do is keep asking for data. Its been given to them several times. Nothing has been resolved. Thus I cannot use nouveau.

Kevin, I really wish you would change your attitude towards the proprietary drivers. You repeatedly claimed that this bug was due to a problem in the proprietary nvidia driver: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525767 However, that problem disappeared in F12 with no change in the driver version. Hmmm....
