That's strange. Too bad I can't check on that as my Linux machine is 
running F10. Does it find anything if you just write yum search nvidia 
also you can check if it properly finds rpmfusion repost with "yum 
repolist" for me it shows:

rpmfusion-free                    RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 - 
Free                                                enabled:    356
rpmfusion-free-updates       RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 - Free - 
Updates                               enabled:    160
rpmfusion-nonfree               RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 - 
Nonfree                                          enabled:    137
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates  RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 - Nonfree - 
Updates                         enabled:     58

Which of course should have Fedora 9 for instead of Fedora 10 also if it 
helps I have following nvidia packages installed, granted that my card 
is 6100 nForce 430 (rev a2) which is integrated on motherboard.

xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-177.82-1.fc10.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-177.82-1.fc10.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64-177.82-1.fc10.7.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64-177.82-1.fc10.4.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.7-134.fc10.x86_64-177.82-1.fc10.6.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-177.82-1.fc10.7.x86_64

Hope this helps, as for everything went so smoothly with F10 that it was 
amazing I even got cyrus-imapd running with SSL without any problems on it.
