impossible

the nvidia drivers are not part of fedora
it is on you to know that you are using a BLOB-driver

but hey that is why you have still the old kernel to
boot with if you forget to verify kernel/driver

the last 4 years i did not use any binary driver even
with nvidia and ATI cards and since 2 years i am buying
SandyBrdige/IvyBdrige and use the on-chip graphcis unit
which is well supported and fast enough for 90% of usecases
