Hey all:
I've been happily using FC3 with binary nvidia drivers for a while.
I've also been playing with rawhide, which is sweet, but a no go with
binary nvidia drivers.
If I remember correctly, FC3 test releases and the initial release
itself could not handle the binary nvidia drivers due to changes in
the kernel.
Without flames, and understanding how evil binary drivers are, should
I expect a significant delay and lots of screwing around between the
release of FC4 and the nvidia drivers working? (I like to call this
the nvidia dance.)
I wish I didn't need the binary driver, but I have a laptop, and have
found no other way to drive a second monitor ('twinview"), which I
need to do when I give presentations. Sadly, this why windows is still
on one of my partitions.

Why is rawhide a no-go with the binary nvidia drivers?
I use the binary drivers from the NV-homepage on a fully updated
FC4test2 system and they work very well.
OK, it is a little annoying to recompile the module after every kernel
update, but this can be automated to a certain level.
So what exactly does not work for you?
