But could you tell me exactly what I should do?
I removed xorg-x11-drv-nouveau (and xorg-x11-drivers), but I did
not get any improvements (see below)
Then I even cannot get back with the 1920x1080 resolution even with
the previous kernel. So reinstalled the removed packages.
If you want to use nVidia's binary blob, then in general you should:
(a) enable rpmfusion repositories (you probably have done that already),
and
(b) do a "yum install akmod-nvidia".
The latter will blacklist nouveau driver, rebuild your initrd image so
that
nouveau doesn't get loaded on reboot, build the nVidia binary blob
against
your running kernel (preferably the latest one), and set up xorg.conf
appropriately for nVidia driver to work. After that you must reboot for
the whole thing to take effect.
Do you mean that I should recompile a kernel?
I used to do so a long time ago, but with the advent of fedora, I did not
have to do so, and the users should not have to recompile kernels.
To come back to the issue. I can run the graphics with the kernel 3,2,3-2
and if it does not work with the new kernel 3,2,5-3, I can only think that
the new kernel has not been build up properly. However, when I compare the
2 files /usr/src/kernels/3.2.3-2.fc16.x86_64/.config and
/usr/src/kernels/3.2.5-3.fc16.x86_64/.config
they are identical. Then I can deduce that is is probably a modules
issues.
lsmod does seem to show that the module nvidia.ko is loaded

Could you please clarify the situation?
Thank.
Note, though, that this is generic advice. Since it appears you have been
removing/installing packages randomly, something else might be broken as well.
If the above procedure doesn't give you expected results, post the latest
/var/log/Xorg.0.log again so that we can troubleshoot it further.
HTH, :-)
