Since somebody from Nouveau told me on this list that installing Nvidia drivers is not a one way ticket that will prevent users to get back to Nouveau and that RPMfusion should provide instructions to remove kmod-nvidia, I'm following the instructions provided by RPMfusion. The instructions are the following:
Disable or uninstall the nvidia driver
It is possible to disable the driver without uninstalling the nvidia package.
nvidia-config-display disable
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Or you can switch the Driver field from nvidia to nouveau in /etc/X11/xorg.conf You also need to verify that /boot/grub/grub.conf doesn't contain nomodeset or rdblacklist=nouveau anymore.
Then you will need to reboot. (or switch to init3 and manually unloading/loading modules.).
Once done, if you really want to uninstall the driver:
yum remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia\* livna-config-display

Here's what Darr suggested:

As you can see, Mr Chauvet, who wrote those instructions, didn't ask to check anything in /etc/modprobe.d/ . So, I didn't.
> Did you remake the initramfs file with dracut (or mv the
> original one made before the kmod-nvidia drivers were
> installed back to its original name) after undoing those steps?
As you can see again the word initramfs doesn't appear anywhere in the instructions provided.
For now, I only tried to disable kmod-nvidia and, as you can see here:
http://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-users/2010-July/000702.html
I didn't have much success. Maybe the kernel panic was due to something I did wrong, but I retried and I suppose things should have worked afterwards. They didn't.

If you want to make suggestions, you may write to Nicholas Chauvet at:

Thanks for your contribution. I'm sure that with all the competent people on this list, RPMfusion will soon have some fine instructions to remove the kmod driver on its site.
