Humm... just installed F10. Then, updated the system with proposed updates.
After that, I installed the repo RPMFusion, free and non-free and typed : "sudo yum install akmod-nvidia". I also installed ccsm, fusion-icon, emerald.
Everything worked, I started compiz desktop effects : all good. Rebooted, worked fine. Didn't installed anything more.
Now, at the 5th reboot, no more desktop effects. I try restarting them manually under "system-appearence->Desktop effects" and it doesn't work. Re-installed akmod-nvidia... no luck.

Humm, I purged everything related to desktop effects in "sessions" (i.e. starting commands) and left "fusion-icon" only. Now, it seems to work when I boot, but there's some glitches, nothing important though.
For now I could live with that, unless you come up with "the" solution.

I have NVIDIA NV 135 on Dell D630 laptop. Which drivers would apply?

Viola! It works!
This is what I did for my Dell D630 with NVIDIA Quadro NV135M:
Note: Did NOT work after failed NVIDIA driver attempt. So -
Clean install of FC10 64-bit DVD.
then -
Code:
su - root
rpm -Uvh http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install akmod-nvidia-173xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173xx-libs.i386 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173xx-libs.x86_64
shutdown -r now
This got the laptop display working with the new drivers. However, I usually work docked with twin Samsung Syncmaster 932 monitors.
To get the DVI monitor to be the left primary display and monitor on the analog (VGA) output of my DPORT, I changed my xorg,conf file to look like this:
Code:

This solution belongs to Leigh - I just had to figure out which drivers to use. Thanks Leigh!

Hi !
I have a nVidia geForce 9300 gs (said my vendor)
Code:
# lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 06e9 (rev a1)
so I followed your instructions, but when I reboot, I have a black screen when should appear GDM...
Is my graphic card not supported by this driver ? I hope not so !
Code:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

When doing this (from the first post) in the terminal, I get the following error:
Code:
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=nonfree-fedora-10&arch=x86_64 error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmfusion-nonfree. Please verify its path and try again
While it looks like I'm not connected to the internet, I am; because I do it at the same time as posting this message (well, no, a minute before posting this message; but without changing my connection).

You will need to start another post about your dns / internet problems .

Trying to install 64bit version, everything goes fine, till halfway the actual install. It asks me if the 61M download is ok, I type y, and then I get:
Code:
Downloading Packages:
Running rpm_check_debug
Running Transaction Test
Finished Transaction Test
Transaction Test Succeeded
Running Transaction
Installing : nvidia-x11-drv 1/2
Error: Cannot open X config file (missing or malformed)
Error: Cannot open X config file (missing or malformed)
Installing : nvidia-x11-drv-32bit 2/2
Installed:
nvidia-x11-drv.x86_64 0:180.11-1.fc10 nvidia-x11-drv-32bit.x86_64 0:180.11-1.fc10
Complete!
Is this important?

Yes it's complaining because there is no xorg.conf
try
Code:
su
yum install system-config-display
Then run system-config-display
Code:
system-config-display
select OK and exit
then run
Code:
su -
nvidia-xconfig
RestartX or reboot
P.S it is only a 19Mb download for x86_64 ( the 61Mb is the size of the unpacked rpm's )

Hm, first and second go ok, but then nvidia-xconfig gives me this output:
Code:
Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
WARNING: Unable to find CorePointer in X configuration; attempting to add new
CorePointer section.
WARNING: The CorePointer device was not specified explicitly in the layout;
using the first mouse device.
Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
Is this supposed to happen? If so, why is there still no direct rendering possible? Checked that with 'glxinfo|grep render'.

The warnings are normal, have you rebooted ?
After rebooting post
Code:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep EE
Code:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep WW
and
Code:
rpm -qa |grep kernel
