Ehm, I have just suggested nouveau in other your bug :-(.
hopefully this driver will eventually work. vesa works at least for now.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This should be fixed in F10 already, if it's not, please reopen!
