Any reason to keep nv driver instead of proprietary nvidia driver?

Are you from the past?

Whenever I install Nvidia proprietary driver and try to start X monitor goes blank and I can't do anything except restarting my system.

This is my xorg.conf file generated when I installed Nvidia driver 190.53 for linux.

doesn't Fedora ship Nouveau? It's light years ahead of nv.

I tried using Nouveau but i am facing the same problem.

I tried with fresh fedora 10 installation with 8400gs card attached with it . when I generated the xorg driver driver was Nouveau. But when I did startX my screen went blank.

Yesterday I installed latest Nvidia driver i.e. 190.53 but same result

@Namrata
You should better try nouveau with newest fedora (12), nouveau was the default starting with fedora 11 and fedora 10 in now End Of Live in December 17th.
