Generally speaking, it's better NOT to install the drivers supplied by
NVidia themselves, but use ones packaged PROPERLY for Fedora, from one
of the Fedora repos.  None of this malarkey is required, and they don't
mess up X like NVidia does.

Unless you actually have a problem with the Fedora package, I'd strongly
advise that you run away, as fast as you can, from using the run file
that you can download from NVidia.  Set up your computer to use the
rpmfusion repo.
