So I recently took the plunged to Fedora 9 (I did it a lot earlier than this post but I was a bit lazy to fix my problems). As you all know, Fedora 9 ships out with the latest and somewhat greatest right? It’s the bleeding edge for god’s sake. Anyway, Fedora shipped out with the latest X11 and for the first couple of weeks the NVIDIA drivers didn’t quite support it yet. Even with the 173.08 drivers from NVIDIA didn’t work well with it and there has been a couple of articles written to make it work in 2D…well I’m glad that with their latest 173.14, it totally works!
