I agree, a Fedora Core FAQ is desirable (more below).

Searching the archives sometimes requires a "just
right" combination of key words to get useful results.
Just earlier today, I was searching for problems
unmounting movable media. I had to try several
combinations of "unmounting, problems, removable,
CDROM, and usbkey" before I finally got useful hits
(and learned this was a known problem, and a reported
bug).
An FAQ is usually easier to scan visually, and brings
together those often-reported problems.

It is an nVidia problem, but its also a Fedora problem
too. (At least to the person asking the question.) An
FAQ might simply link to the approipriate nVidia FAQ.
