I quickly searched the thread and I didn't see what version of Fedora
he's using. This makes a difference. You used to only need
rdblacklist... but in F15 you also needed to set nomodeset or
something like that since nouveau added modesetting and now in F16 I
think rdblacklist is depreciated but supposedly still works, I'm not
sure when that will change (3.2 kernel?)
