The NVIDIA installer script does not work properly on Fedora, as there
are some extra libGL.* files the script doesn't detect and remove. 
Remove the /usr/X11R6/lib/tls/libGL* files (I think that path is right,
going from memory here) and then things should work.

Hopefully the next version of the NVIDIA drivers will take care of that
automatically.
