FWIW, I've had zero problems with F12's nouveau driver with my 256MB Norwood Micro GeForce 6600 PCI Express card and a 19" LG L1960TR Flatron.  On prior versions of Fedora, I've had to use the proprietary Nvidia driver--nv was a disaster from the beginning--from the livna or fusionfree repos to get full resolution and the display working correctly.

This card has no 3-D capabilites built-in, which is fine, since I have no need of it.  As I understand it, nouveau has problems driving 3-D type cards correctly.  Any "fix" will involve "fixing" nouveau.  Or as you've discovered, going to the proprietary Nvidia driver.
