Seeing this posting above I decided to try it too - I pulled the rpms
for kernel-PAE, kernel-PAE-devel, perf and kernel-headers for i686 and
yum install/updated in a fully up-to-date F14 laptop - after rebooting
there was initially quite a lot of disk activity for a minute or so
after logging in to gnome but then it all settled down and works
beautifully - including updating the NetworkManager package from
updates-testing.

Certainly this works really well.  I will test further for a few days
but on the basis of my tests with this laptop which has nvidia
graphics  G86M [Quadro FX 360M] I am pretty impressed. If I find no
problems I will likely put this into all my f14 machines before too
long.
