Thanks for working on the new stable release.

But we might want to consider using the mainline kernel (3.4-rc7 at the
moment).
Otherwise it might render the box of nouveau users unusable unless "nomodeset"
is passed to the kernel at boot, effectively disabling kernel modesetting.

Check the following url for more info:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802751

It's not a redhat bug, as far as I know every distro suffers from the same
bug.
I've hit it on a box I've built recently which contained a nvidia gtx 550.

Not sure if other cards are affected.

Just a heads up,
Arjan Bouter
