A hint might be to look at the nVidia steps to compile the nVidia
module.  In FC3 the kernel packaging has changed so that you do not
need the old kernel source packages as you once did.

The new packaging has simplified things, it is just us old timers
that want to do it the old way that are having troubles. Look at the
newer postings not the older archives on this topic.
