I faced the same problem but did not give up on Fedora. I found on 
nvidia.com that the 275.43 drivers which were released on 12/14/2011 work.
You will need to install at runlevel3. Do not update the kernel until 
they get a permanent fix.  Somebody helped me so if I can give back, I 
certainly willing. I don't know much but what little I know I will be 
glad to share. After all, that's what Fedora is all about.
