First, make sure you have it installed correctly.

If you are running 64 bit and have added the RPMFusion repositories, then run:
su -c 'yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64'

If you're running 32 bit, then add the RPMFusion repo and run:
su -c 'yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs'

This will install required libs and blacklist nouveau driver.

If you had kernel based modesetting enabled, then re-build your
initial ram disk:
su -c 'dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)'

Update your modules database:
su -c 'depmod -ae'

Create an nvidia xorg.conf:
su -c 'nvidia-xconfig'

Reboot.
