See <http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1114782&postcount=2> 
for complete instructions. You need the section "For GeForce FX cards".

I just tried it on an old box with an FX 5200 running the "nouveau" 
driver on F11. Seems to work fine. I used the "Blacklist the nouveau 
driver" section to keep nouveau from loading. You may not need to do this.
