I'm using the akmod for a while now (on 4 different machines) and they seem
to work just fine.
However, make sure you:

1. Install the required packages: (64bit with multi-lib in this case)
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i586
akmod-nvidia.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.86_64

2. Build the required modules:
/etc/init.d/akmods restart
/etc/init.d/nvidia restart

3. Add the missing module configurations in xorg.conf
Section "Files"
    ModulePath      "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/"
    ModulePath      "/usr/lib64/xorg/drivers"
    ModulePath      "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection

4. Restart X.

Hope it helps,
