Yes, I have been using the nvidia driver on FC5 since the night I 
installed it.  I had to apply a patch to the driver and install a newer 
2.6.16-1 kernel from davej's site: 
http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC5/RPMS.kernel/ .  I also 
reused the xorg.conf file i had been using on FC4.
