And, as always, he was told ages ago the way to get Nvidia working on Fedora and chose to ignore it until he stumbled onto it by trial and error.
He was told different and conflicting ways by different people and following different sets of advice broke things. Why should an extremely common user requirement have to be satisfied by following some random other user's advice from a mail list? As we can see by example, this doesn't work that well.
