I'm running FC2T3. Will install 2final soon. Yes, the nv driver still works fine. If you're having issues configuring it (I was), the system-config-display program does an awesome job of configuring a basic X setup, with wheeley mouse etc (which xorg didn't autodetect). It even alleges dual head support, though I've not tried it. It's in the system-config-display-1.0.13-3 package on my box.
