F16 Howto for the rpmfusion nvidia drivers
Click here for supported Nvidia cards list
This is a Four-Step Process. If you don't follow all three steps, your install will fail!
1. Update the kernel and reboot
Code:
su
yum update kernel\* selinux-policy\*
reboot
2. Install the nvidia driver.
For GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 200, 300, 400 & 500 series cards
Using akmod:
This is the best option in my opinion as you don't get any problems when a new kernel is released.

Extra step for PAE kernel only
Code:
su
yum install kernel-PAE-devel
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________
Code:
su
yum --nogpgcheck install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
Or using kmod (which saves a bit of disk space but will have problems with every kernel update.)
( if you have 4Gb of RAM or more you will probably have a PAE kernel [32bit only] so follow the PAE part )
Code:
su
yum --nogpgcheck install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
If you use a PAE kernel
Code:
su
yum --nogpgcheck install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE
3. Make sure nouveau is removed from initramfs
Code:
su
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
4. Reboot
