I have since checked what kernel were lately installed. I have:

2.6.32.10-90.fc12.x86_64
2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64
2.6.32.12-115.fc12.x86_64

So the kernel in testing is definitely a big oops! You're right, they
shouldn't have wasted their time on this.

 Fedora pretty much does say people should use Nouveau.


Pretty much... Now hat it has some basic 3D support.

I wrote to a certain Dan at rpmfusion, but I dougt I'll get an answer. I'm
sure rpmfusion is fully aware that they don't offer teh nvidia module for
the present kernel. and I would make a bet that people at Fedora are well
aware of what's going on.
