I would try DL'ing the FC6 package and manually installing it (example: 
rpm -ivh nvidia-x11-drv-96xx) I would do this over downloading the 
driver from Nvidia because the freshrpms package will re-compile 
automatically with kernel updates.  Using the driver from nvidia you'll 
have to re-compile manually.
