If you installed the nvidia driver direct from nvidia then you may have
things installed during that process that prevent the packages available
from rpmfusion from working - there was a long thread about this on this
forum a year or two back.
The way to do it is to first as root in a clean system:
rpm -ivh
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
then
rpm -ivh
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
This installs the rpmfusion repo files in the right place in /etc/repos.d/
Then check which version of the kmod-nvidia you need - if you are using a
PAE kernel then you need to install kmod-nvdia-PAE if not then you may need
kmod-nvidia on its own. However you may need the legacy drivers instead in
which case you need kmod-nvidia-173xx etc. Check your graphics card version
and find which driver you need before you install it.
Then do "yum install kmod-nvidia" or "yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE" etc as
appropriate.
If you don't install the right one then it may well not work properly!
