Nvidia users under Fedora9 have driver updates

Nvidia said: we will never support non-official versions of Xorg (meaning you should take a rest for Fedora9 users ). But a few days ago, freeyuntop.org said: it is estimated that we will be able to release the official version Xorg7.4 by July. January July. So we couldn't sit down and started to put more pressure on Nvidia. Finally, Nvidia released the 173.14.05linux driver. This means that Nvidia users under Fedora9 are using the official driver.

2 Xorg Server 1.5 preliminary (pre? Preliminary ?) Yes. It means that if your xorg still cannot be used because of its character or other problems, you think this driver is a preliminary support. If you use CompizFusion very well, it is pre-support. Because Xorg server 1.5 is not available yet.

The rest is the bugfix.
