Yes, it's the default driver. You're using it already.

Yes, Bruno's simply suggesting you install the
mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package, which will enable the 3D support
of nouveau. It's not enabled by default because it's, well,
experimental. :)

There are instructions at Fusion:

http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia

there's still a bug with F14 support, though, which isn't documented
there yet. Try nouveau first, anyway. If it doesn't work, someone can
help you off-list with nvidia.
