This is not necessary anymore with the newer nVidia drivers.  Make
sure you have all the updates to FC3 and it should work fine without
it.  I'm not using SELinux, but all I have to do is:
init 3
sh NVIDIA...
# edit xorg.conf changing "nv" to "nvidia" if not already done
init 5
If it is not working, I suspect your xorg.conf.  Can you please post
relevant sections of that?  What were you getting with the nv driver? 
Or does that work with the 6600?
