Thanks for the info.
I followed the instructions in : 
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=204752
but must have missed something because Fedora 19 is now trash.
Will not even start to boot so I can't get to a terminal.

Unless I can get into things from Ubuntu, and I have no idea how to do 
that,  it will probably mean a  fresh install.

I had forgotten the difficulty and complexity of installing nvidia, it 
certainly brings back memories, I think the reason I decided  to use 
Nouveau was because I was using Fedora as a test bed and updating with 
new releases.
