    Here's the forum: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=30399

    FC2 WILL work with the included NV driver. This is a tad slower than the
    NVidia driver and does not support 3D.

    The NVidia 5336 driver will NOT work in a stock FC2 kernel. The stock
    kernels are compiled with 4kb stack size. However, it is easy to
    recompile a custom kernel.org 2.6.7 kernel with 8kb stack size and the
    driver will work.

    Rumor has it that NVidia will release a new driver later in the summer.
