I have the old computer (with F14) and the new one side by side, and just switch between them in the monitor source (fortunately it has two outputs: a dvi and a vga). Gnome 3 is really awkward, and systemd, well, it is better not to say what I thought of it.... kde seems the same to me, and I think it is time to forget about gnome ... Gnome3 seems as a big iphone to me, but lacking the Apple product polishing and the appropriate hardware. Every tweak takes a long time, mainly because the configuration tools are not installed by default or simply do not exist ... Anyway, I was able to force the installation of the nvidia kmdl and had to install pyxf86config-0.3.37-10.fc15.x86_64.rpm from F16, because it is gone on F17. Then I blacklisted nouveau in /etc/default/grub and recreated the grub2 config file. Well, at least I am using the nvidia driver now and google-earth is at full power again. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
