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.
Interesting...
I have no "nv" problems on my Lenovo T61p with Quadro FX570M.
Running with no xorg.conf. ...

Hmm, mine is a NVS 140M. nv yields a black screen. Even if nv worked,
it's unbearably slow and can't handle dual 1680x1050 screens. But I
would never criticize the Xorg developers, the only culprit for nv being
so bad is NVidia itself...
