...Actually, I know Larewnce. He's using the kmod-nvidia and
akmod-nvidia drivers from the RPM Fusion repository. He's also running
F16 x86_64 and used the standard methods published to install the
drivers.

Not sure what the problem is, but there's definitely an issue somewhere
with the way this is working...
