I upgraded Nvidia from FC1 to FC2 with no problems.  However, when I 
switch RH8 or RH9 to FC1, I performed a clean installed.  Yeah my idea 
stinks but I feel RH9 to FC2 is a major jump.  It is hard to catch all 
the upgrade issues.  FC1 to FC2 appears to be a smaller jump.  Try the 
clean install first before the pitching action.
