3) get nvidia-glx as a rpm, remove Mesa-libGL, recompile/install
the kernel driver if you update the kernel.

see https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=402 for a src.rpm 

I only use the glx rpm, the kernel part of the rpm is a bit too much 
hassle when using 2.6 (looks like the latest spec file removed it
completely). For 2.4 it should work fine.
