This problem is actually solved in a much more convenient way in the
CentOS community. There, one can just 

  yum -y install nvidia-detect && nvidia-detect

and find out which driver one is supposed to install. This is much
more streamlined than manually looking up PCI ID's in Xorg.0.log, then
looking up the instructions at the rpmfusion page, then figuring out
which driver the user has to install.

A typical novice user should not be expected to decypher PCI ID's in a
log file. An experienced user who offers his time and advice for free
on a a mailing list should not be expected to do so either.

If it were up to me, I'd make a meta-package named "kmod-nvidia" which
would execute the nvidia-detect script, pick up the answer automatically
and then install appropriate kmod-nvidia-331xx/304xx/173xx driver as a
conditional dependency. Then all of these issues would simply go away.

But alas, it is not up to me...

Best, :-)
