I had given up on the Nvidia folks some time ago. None of their mods
seemed to work for me and their lack of support was deafening.
The original kernel from the install works great
(2.6.32.9-67.fc12.i686), I presume with the nouveau driver. My thoughts
are that something was changed.
Once boot has completed, the card AND driver appear to be functioning
properly.

I find that with Nouveau the Video card does not perform properly.
It is still under development.
I found thawhen I get a Nvidia Driver update with new kernel I will do
the update through add/remove software and search nvidia
I then select which Nvidia Driver I want then it loads the kernel and
kernel mod for the driver automatically.
I do this everytime a new kernel comes out with the new driver.
Also you must blacklist nouveau in the grub.config
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-nvidia.html#nvidia_rpmfusion
This guide is quite handy
Just remember once the driver, kernel mod and kernel are installed do
not reboot
Edit grub.config and blacklist nouveau
Then reboot.
A fully functioning video card is much more desirable.
NVclock for upping speed of the Nvidia as they can handle quite the
overclock
Have a great day
