RH ships system-config-display instead. However, it'll want to configure the 
nv driver, not the nvidia driver.

Nope, none needed here.

I don't have any modelines in any of my RH/FC boxes using the nvidia driver.

The nv driver sucks beans compared to the nvidia driver, esp. for MythTV, 
which makes use of some of the Xv acceleration features in the nvidia driver.
