driver
I was not aware of Leigh's advice until I saw your response here. So....
I found and followed his advice, and, I still see issues.
Note that I do still see the driver, however
>rpm -qa | grep -i nouveau
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-27.20110720gitb806e3f.fc16.x86_64
Then again, I also see all sorts of kmod stuff
>rpm -qa | grep -i nvidia
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-290.10-1.fc16.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-3.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64-290.10-1.fc16.1.x86_64
nvidia-settings-1.0-13.fc16.x86_64
akmod-nvidia-290.10-1.fc16.1.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-290.10-1.fc16.x86_64
nvidia-xconfig-1.0-11.fc16.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64-290.06-1.fc16.2.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64-290.06-1.fc16.3.x86_64
