Please reply if you need to ( ie must) use the proprietary nvidia driver instead of the nouveau driver.
I tried (and aborted) an upgrade from FC6 to F12. The Nouveau driver didn't support my second GPU card, and I had a %&*$ of a time getting it to let me install the nvidia driver.
Unfortunately, the nvidia driver didn't work either - HUGE delays in X events, kernel/vga/whatever problems, etc. After four hours I gave up and restored FC6. Yes, I did try the rawhide kernel too.
For the record: I have a pair of 9800 GT 512MB. The primary card drives a Dell 3008WFP (2560x1600 landscape) and a Dell 2001FP (1600x1200 landscape). The secondary card drives a pair of Dell 2001FPs (1200x1600 portrait). I currently use nvidia's proprietary driver with Xinerama - no RandR, no compiz :(
