Yes, I have finally managed to get 9746 work on my x64 system with nVidia 
6150 graphics and FC5.

I had it working with 8776(?) from atrpms at first, then decided to 
upgrade the system. Then it all went downhill. Decided to install the 9746 
driver from nVidia and got it "almost working". Had issues with sound 
being out of sync and the frontend reporting "video behind audio, dropping 
frames to catch up" all the time, and the video was stuttering.

I then reinstalled the 9746 driver from atrpms and at the same time 
upgraded the kernel to the latest, and now all works like a charm :-)
