Instead of updating driver from livna, this time I tried the

installation of driver as instructed in nvidia forum http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 its working fine now.
You should probably take a look at this URL:
That is old news.
There seems to be no date on that, but it seems I remember it from possibly as much as 6 months ago. I am not sure if the problems he described there continue to exist in new installs from nvidia since I have not installed that driver direct from nvidia on my FC5 system. I believe there have been 2 updated releases of the nvidia driver since his post of that.
He says that when using the driver from livna the problems noted are fixed so most won't have a problem. I personally never saw the problems he notes even when I used the driver directly from nvidia.

Why? proprietary. passing up the pipeline? too much work.
Thorsten's follow up commentary was additionally enlightening.
