The only problem being that this release is incompatible with current

That's nothing new you know. Out of the 9 fedora releases, I think at least 8 out of 9 didn't work with the Nvidia driver at release time. however Nvidia is usually pretty good at playing catch up.

I'm also hostage to Nvidia's good will for my Lenovo T61's Quadro chipset, and can't upgrade to F-9 until their next release (nv doesn't work at all on this chipset). I wouldn't go back to a Radeon chipset though, not until we have a working free equivalent (emphasis on 'working') to nvidia-settings for easy dual-head support... The good news is that with xrandr maturing, we're probably almost there.
