It's really too bad because if you want your Video card to work 100% you 
need the nvidia drivers.

Oh well, considering the two main Video companies is Nvidia and Ati it 
would be good to have a Fedora based driver that works 100%.
I am not knocking Nouveau but it still has a way to go before it can be 
called a driver replacement.


Thanks again for the answer back
