Well, no luck so far... But here are some excerpts from log files that might
help someone see what my problem is:

Your insight is greatly appreciated.
It seems you`re loading nouveau instead of nvidia. If that`s the case, you might have to blacklist nouveau kernel module somehow (which seems odd considering that I didn't have to do anything). Did you install F13 from scratch or did you upgrade from F12?
I`m not at home right now so I can`t check my configuration files, but I`ll do that as soon as I can and see if that's anything that could help you.

grub.conf doesn't seem to have anything specific to nvida/nouveau:
title Fedora (2.6.33.4-95.fc13.x86_64)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.33.4-95.fc13.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-System rd_LVM_LV=VolGroup00/System rd_LVM_LV=VolGroup00/Swap rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=br-abnt2 rhgb quiet vga=0x369
initrd /initramfs-2.6.33.4-95.fc13.x86_64.img
(NOTE: I added the vga=0x369 myself to see graphical boot on my main display at 1600x1050, otherwise I get plain text boot progress)
There's a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf which contains:
# RPM Fusion blacklist for nouveau driver - you need to run as root:
# dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
# if nouveau is loaded despite this file.
blacklist nouveau
This file has been installed by xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-195.36.24-1.fc13.x86_64. Checking the scripts it runs with "rpm -q --scripts" shows me it installs /etc/init.d/nvidia which starts with
#!/bin/sh
#
# chkconfig: 2345 8 92
# description: This script will check if a nvidia kernel module is present for\
# the running kernel and modify the xorg.conf to the appropriate\
# configuration.
I guess all this combined made nvidia work here. Is your setup similar to the one above?
