1) Livna are unlikely to make releases until FC6 final is released

2) FC6T1 has upgraded to Xorg 7.1, Nvidia will need to change their 
driver in reponse to this.

3) During testing you are better off sticking with the open-source "nv" 
driver (or failing that the "vesa" driver) rather than the proprietary 
binary "nvidia" driver, because it will "taint" the kernel, therefore 
kernel developers will be less interested in any crashes you encounter.
