I just installed the nVidia driver a couple days ago in an attempt to
get my computer working with the projector in the PSU room where we
have our general meetings. It was in the Fedora rpmfusion repository,
and the version in the repository was the same as the latest version at
nVidia's website. It is version 260.19.12. 

Yours seems a lot of versions older. But maybe there are different
numbering schemes for different versions of the driver. E.g., mine is
running an Quadro NVS 140M. Wouldn't hurt to check for the latest
version, though.

That seems odd. In my experience Ubuntu doesn't even enable the
non-open source repositories by default. Oh wait ... you have to
install the nVidia driver if you want the desktop effects. That is
probably when the OS "recommended" the nVidia driver.
