http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=fedora+nvidia has as #1 hit
http://www.fedorafaq.org/#nvidia which states that 'if you have an
older card, you may need to install kmod-nvidia-173xx or
kmod-nvidia-96xx.' See http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html
for a list of which cards need which driver.
Have you tried that yet? Normally there's no configuration needed
after installing the akmod-nvidia package.

Thank you but I have done all of that type of investigation and my
nvidia card is supported. I made sure of that when I built this my
Dell 9400 Inspiron laptop. It is equipped with the latest hardware I
could find in order to keep up with the new tech. It won't be long
though before I will have to buy a more up to date laptop.
