As mentioned in another mail: the RPM packages adds those line to 
xorg.conf normally. If it doesn't please check why it doesn't and file a 
bug -- only then the problem can get solved. And solving problems is way 
more important then documenting workarounds.

And a separate dir for the nvidia stuff is needed, as the RPM Fusion 
packages can't replace files that are owned by Packages provided by 
Fedora -- for example /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so is 
owned by xorg-x11-server-Xorg, hence RPM Fusion must write Nvidias 
libglx.so to a different path.
