Not sure that will help. Now that I have installed the nvidia stuff, if
I run vesa again it reports as coming from nvidia, not from the Fedora
supplied one. I suspect the Fedora people will not accept that.
Nope. But you can remove the nvidia stuff (I think by running
nvidia-installer, if you didn't install the Livna packages) and set up
the vesa driver again.
