Hi Jeffrey
Had similar setup (Dell + Nvidia card) with the same problem.
Solved it by installing the nv driver from livna.
Have you tried using the driver from rpm.livna.org?
To install the repo to yum:
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm

Then:
http://www.fedorafaq.org/#nvidia --> follow the instruction here to install and get the driver up and running.

Sorry Jafaruddin,

   I replied to your e-mail and realized that I misread the information you gave me.  Nevertheless, I came up with an error message while I tried to install the kmod-nvidia drivers.  How do I get rid of the conflicts with the kmod-nividia drivers.  Listed below is what happened when I tried to install the kmod-nividia drivers:
