livnia.org made rpm's specially for fedora which can be installed flawless
(at least at my system at home) without doing anything manually. I found the
documentation on a Dutch Fedora web-page
 http://www.fedora-linux.nl/fedorafaq/index.php?layout=fedorastyle#nvidia

In principle the procedure is : replace your /etc/yum.conf by one which can
reach livnia.org. An example is on the above web-page (choose "mijn
yum.conf" and then "deze yum.conf". 
The 3 steps to install are then
  1) create a terminal
  2) become root (i.e. su)
  3) yum install nvidia-glx kernel-module-nvidia-`(uname -r)`

Everytime when you update your kernel give the following command before
starting the kernel (as root ofcourse)

 yum install kernel-module-nvidia-`(rpm -q --queryformat="%{version}-%{release}\n" kernel | tail -n 1)`
