While I respect Joe Zeff as a reputable member of this list, those instructions on fedoraforum are a total piece of crap. I don't know who wrote those instructions, but overengineering a solution for a common problem is a always a Recipe For Disaster(tm).
Don't forget that some of them were written for newcomers who may or may not know if their card's even supported. Once you have rpmfusion set up, all you really need to do is have yum install kmod-nvidia, the xorg files that it needs, run dracut and reboot. (Using akmod, of course, gives you a slightly different set of files.) Most of the complexity comes from the author having to take all sorts of possibilities into account; as a user, you just pick the set of instructions that matches you card. I've never yet had them fail, but I have read posts on that forum where others have; usually, they've either picked the wrong set of files to install or didn't follow the instructions correctly. YMMV, and obviously does, but everything I've seen, both personally and through threads on fedoraforum lead me to believe that they're about as good a set of instructions as you're likely to find.
BTW, Marco, do you have a link to a set of instructions you find better? If so, I'd be interested in looking at them and possibly pointing others to them instead in the future.
