I tried using that in Fedora 17, but it did not work for me as the 
nvidia driver still complained it could not load its module while the 
nouveau driver was active, and I found that the method documented on the 
net of rebuilding the initrd with the nvidia driver installed to remove 
the nouveau driver did not work either for the same reasons. The only 
way I could find to get it to work was to uninstall the latest kernel 
and reinstall it which did not install the nouveau driver when it built 
the initrd, and all subsequent kernel installs did the same thing.
