That's not AT ALL what I said. I was able to use the NVidia drivers from 
NVidia's web site just fine. Others mentioned they did the same.

Again, I didn't see ANYTHING that intimated that.

Nope. I've been using Linux since 1995. NVidia drivers have ALWAYS been 
problematic. RPMFusion has done amazing work trying to make it less 
onerous, but often times NVidia makes changes that catch third parties 
like RPMFusion unawares. I *feel* like this is just another case of 
this. It stinks, but it's not the end of the world. Either wait til this 
gets fixed by the volunteer developers at RPMFusion (and be cool to 
them, most are working out of love for the community), or install the 
NVidia drivers from NVidia web site. You'll be fine.
