Do you mean gnome or X / GDM ?
How are you trying to start it ?

Which driver are you expecting to use ? nv, nouveau, nvidia (beta or
release) ?
This might be a hint:
$ rpm -qa \*drv-n\* \*nvidia\* --qf="%{packager} %{name}\n"
Fedora Project xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
Fedora Project xorg-x11-drv-nv
<http://nonfree.rpmfusion.org/> akmod-nvidia-173xx
<http://nonfree.rpmfusion.org/> kmod-nvidia-173xx-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686
<http://nonfree.rpmfusion.org/> xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173xx
<http://nonfree.rpmfusion.org/> xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173xx-libs
The rpmfusion packaged nvidia proprietary driver is for middle age cards
like my fx5600.
