Very likely you installed the new kernel from fedora updates, but
rpmfusion had not yet pushed out the new nvidia kmod, leaving you with
a non working binary only non free nvidia driver. ;( 

So, your options are: 

- Boot to the previous kernel, everything will work, just wait a few
  days, then boot back to the new kernel and 'yum install kmod-nvidia'
  to get the new kmod from rpmfusion. 

- yum install akmod-nvidia to switch to the akmod, which builds on boot
  of any new kernel. 

I'm assuming you are using the rpmfusion one. If you are using the
nasty .run file from nvidia, you will need to download and re-run it
each time your kernel updates.
