It is ok. I do realize that I made no comment on whether I was referring to the Nvidia Binary non-open source drivers or one of the open-source alternatives. I really DO need to find a blank cd-r... or find my DVD-RW writer. I really want to use Fedora 12, mainly due to the fact it supports multiple pointers on-screen (last I heard). Is there a guide on setting up thin-clients with Fedora? That is something that I would either like to use or make, if it didn't exist already. I have several old computer lying around the house and whenever a friend comes over it would be nice to be able to set up a X Thin Client.

Ahh cool. I apologize for my rant then.
Honestly at this point it should 'just work', and if it doesn't it
deserves filing a bug.
Nouveau became the default Nvidia driver in Fedora 11, and has made
tons of progress since then.
