I would not try F9, unless you use Gnome. I used it but switched back
to F8 because KDE was not ready yet. F10 should be better as far as
KDE and I think it was released yesterday. Although there is nothing
on the CCRMA page for it yet.

Also, I am having the same problem you are having. I have a Nvidia
7600 card and it works fine with the regular kernels but when it uses
the RT CCRMA kernel the Nvidia driver will not load during start up.
So I use the VESA, I think.
