I got my Nvidia card installed correctly by following these instructions
at rpmfusion:

> Fedora 10 and 11
>
> Please remember that once the drivers are installed, they will configure
> your xorg.conf automatically and changes will take effect after a full
> reboot. There is no need to run nvidia-xconfig or other tools.
>
> GeForce 6 and higher (mine is a 9400 GT)
>
> yum install kmod-nvidia
>
> Fedora 11 and nouveau
>
> As nouveau is enabled by default starting with Fedora 11, you may
> experience problem which is caused by the nouveau kernel module being
> present in the initrd image. To avoid such problem, after you have
> installed the right series of the nvidia driver for your hardware, execute

> mkinitrd /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
> reboot
