As the title says, if I boot a git kernel (Linus' tree), plymouth doesn't work, nor does X start. I have to change the graphics driver to nv in xorg.conf and restart in order to get the git kernel working with X, but then the Fedora kernels won't start X with the nv driver. Anyone else having these problems?

Yes, If you updated the new kernel-2.6.31.5-96 yesterday get rid of it and bootup in old kernel. I had the same problem.

Thanks, but then the first issue remains : why can't nouveau start X with vanilla kernels?

Because the vanilla kernel doesn't have the nouveau module in it.

I use a nvidia 8200 card and it won't detect nouveau either. I installed system-config-display and went into change driver , my card is detected with a Vesa driver. I selected nouveau and restarted X but it will only accept a higher resolution and would not allow me to keep my settings at 1024x768.

Most modern drivers use a different method for specifying resolutions. This was introduced with RandR 1.2. s-c-d has never been updated to use this.
You can use gnome-display-properties to change the resolution inside GNOME (and configure multiple displays, and a few other things) and any changes you made are saved via gconf, so they will be applied each time that user logs in. If you want to set them system-wide so they apply to all users and desktops and login managers, you'll have to edit xorg.conf manually according to this guide:

s-c-d is pretty obsolescent these days, it probably needs to be revised or shot in the head soon.
