I tried everything as suggested (and more) but I could get further then a complete dark screen after booting since the monitor light was completely turned off. As this comments indicates http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/12037.html?thread=373509#cmt373509 I suspected the efi boot to be guilty :) and therefore reinstalled fedora 17 (keeping my home partition) and chose the bios compatible booting mode this time (by turning the efi boot partition into a 1 MB partition choosing BIOS*something as filesystem) I then installed the nvidia driver (from rpmfusion), and regenerated the initramfs using dracut. Now the nvidia driver works as expected and as a bonus there are no failures when resuming from suspend to ram (applies to both the nvidia and the nouveau kernel module). So thank you again for your help and numerous pointers! Now I am really deeply satisfied with my fedora 17 installation :).
