I think so.

> On Sunday, 16th December, yum update brought in a new kernel package
> kernel-3.6.10-2.fc17.x86_64

> kernel-3.6.9-2.fc17.x86_64
> kernel-3.6.8-2.fc17.x86_64
> kernel-3.6.10-2.fc17.x86_64

Bottom line: enable the rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing repository or
stay with the older kernel until the corresponding kmod-nvidia is
propagated to rpmfusion-nonfree-updates or use the akmod-nvidia package
instead.
