The bug I'm assuming you're referring to is

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519298

in which you merely remove the nouveau userspace component, and in which
I can't tell if you built nouveau into the kernel or not, but I assume
you didn't based on your previous post.  The X server does only try the
one driver before falling back to vesa, which is a bug in the fallback
logic I suppose.  I've (blindly) fixed that for F13 now.

However, the log in that bug only shows you using the built-in
autoconfig logic, and not an xorg.conf file.  So, given you were talking
about a kernel without nouveau, I am left to assume one of:

- you didn't try writing an xorg.conf fragment
- you did, and it didn't work anyway

The latter case is entirely plausible, as nv is not the sort of driver
that gets a lot of love, but I'm not aware of any open bugs about gf9800
in particular in nv.
