My previous email was in haste...I meant to also point out that NVIDIA 
drivers contain a bug that disables them in x.org 13+ - I forget what 
the precise issue was, but what it boiled down to for me was that I 
could not run rawhide (with a 3.13+ kernel) on my laptop with an NVIDIA 
GeForceGTX660m GPU. With the 3.12 kernel tree, it was working, but what 
was the point of running rawhide if I was stuck with kernel 3.12?

What it boils down to is that neither nouveau or NVIDIA support rawhide 
with GTX GPUs - yet.
