Not the final fix I want to use, but I'd at least appreciate some testing from people with this kind of nv driver failure. It's actually an X server fix, and it can be found here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/ajax/task_940170/ Run X, either with no config file or with nv selected as the driver in the config, and then verify in the X log that we fell back to vesa. I don't have one of the affected nv chips so I had to synthesize the failure by hacking the nv driver, but it should work. Probably. - ajax
