F11 with
kernel.org 2.6.32.2 + Nvidia driver working fine here. You
really should learn to build a kernel from sources, once you get the
config file done, the rest is easy.
And leaves you with no Fedora patches and the disk performance regression issues
of 2.6.32. Also a tainted kernel which some developers will ignore if you get a
trace, etc. And the last time I looked there was no ATI patch for 2.6.32.2
unless I missed it.
Building from source means it will compile, not that it will work.
