Hi Christoph!
First I want to say thank you for th e advise to use "nofb". That
machine now runs fedora without problems. Even X configured itself
completly automatically - something I've never seen before.

You still can do the installation in text mode, skip the x configuration
and reboot.
Ok, the thing with text mode installation (at least on that machine):
1. It doesn't allow to choose packages individually.
2. It always crashed on the second disk.
What's the reason for using "fb" at the installation? Is it considered
a bug (should I add it to bugzilla) if my system only installs with
"nofb"?
#wget

Edit the new XF86config for your needs.
Be happy. :-)
I think the problem is your TFT, not the graphics card , but i cannot
That's
what I did on the other machine (with the DFP), not with fedora
but back then with 8.0 or so. I upgraded that machine to fedora already
by upgrading the packages by hand.
The issue here seems to be that the "nv" driver doesn't work with the
digital out (and as I understand bugzilla won't until nvidia gives the
needed information to the XFree86 developers - so probably it will never
work).
That was the reason for my question / proposal: That the binary
nvidia-drivers should be available sometime during the installation.
