I just tried akmod-nvidia on Fedora 11 for the first time, the other
day.  I had to install kernel-devel myself, afterwards, before it could
do what it was supposed to.  Surely it ought to drag that in as a
dependency, then?  Installing akmod-nvidia certainly dragged in a pile
of other things.

     1. Fresh install of Fedora 11, from the DVD, with default options.
     2. Tried to "yum install kmod-nvidia", but there wasn't one
        prebuilt.
     3. So I did "yum install akmod-nvidia", rebooted, and watched it
        fail.
     4. Did a "yum install kernel-devel", rebooted, and it built the
        driver and configured itself properly.

With the NVidia driver installed, the laptop suspends to RAM and wakes
up (I can't recall if I tried suspend to disc).  Pulseaudio also works.
I'm tempted to say "nyah," so I will...
