[Fedora-Bangladesh] Trouble installing nVidia driver in fedora 13 beta

[Angel]

Enable rpm fusion stable release (test release will mess up ur system):
rpm -Uvh
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Now try the kmod-nvidia driver, if its available for ur kernel. If not try
the akmod-nvidia. Also install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.

Type this commands:
su -
sed -i '/root=/s|$| rdblacklist=nouveau|' /boot/grub/grub.conf
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname  -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

Now edit xorg.conf:

gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and add

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "IgnoreABI" "true"
EndSection

If still failed, then sure, its a bug. Just wait 1 more week to release the
final version.

I even enabled rawhide repo, n it fucked up my system twice.
