You must wait a little while for an updated kernel (and in addition you 
must patch the nVidia driver shim sources).  The kernel that went out 
with FC5 has a symbol needed by the nVidia binary drivers mistakenly 
marked up as GPL-only.  Apparently a new kernel package is forthcoming 
as an update in the next few days.

I feel your pain as I am currently reduced to 1024x768 instead of 
3200x1200....
