someone from Nvidia told me that one has to use the following command
to compile the Nvidia driver with recent X builds (works for me):

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9755-pkg2.run --x-module-path=`X
-showDefaultModulePath 2>&1 | cut -d, -f1` --x-library-path=`X
-showDefaultLibPath 2>&1`

Thanks for the info with the ATrpms package, I will look at it.
Before, I used the freshrpms package which isn't available for F7 yet.
