The main was stuck at boot, after first reboot and installing Nvidia
drivers.

Why the need for nvidia drivers?
I used to think I needed them but with Fedora 14 I tried the latest
drivers included with the distro (Nouveau I think) and it all works ok
with Blender 3d, inkscape, Scribus, and Gimp and anything else I throw a it.
I suspect the drivers will be even better with Fedora 16.
If I may suggest, to try Nouveau and see if it does what you need.
