try this: download the package from the following link

http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/8/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm

you may to right-click and save to get it
once you have it run 'rpm -Uvh' on it as root
that will install the freshrpms repo
the nvidia package is called 
nvidia-x11-drv-100.14.23-1.fc7.i386.rpm

so, 'yum install nvidia-x11-drv-100.14.23-1.fc7.i386.rpm'
as root should pull the driver and the dkms module and anything 
else you need to install it
