This might help:

I install the NVIDIA drivers using RPMFusion's repo, using the akmod
(so that it's built automatically, unlike kmod).

Remove current xorg.conf file, else the auto-enabling feature will fail.

Something simple like this (for 64bit) should do, as root (from memory):
yum install @development-tools
yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64 time dkms
dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

This will blacklist nouveau, which is why we then re-build your initramfs.

Thanks Chris, this helped! Using the akmod-nvidia worked! The only other difference (compared to how I did it before) was that I ran nvidia-xconfig before restarting X.

Thanks again for all the help!
