Would one of those work?
That's the latest available from nVidia officially..
have have any beta builds available elsewhere...
And apparently you CAN run that driver in F12, BUT then there's this:
https://bugzilla.
and this:
https://fedoraproje
"Due to a bad interaction between the proprietary NVIDIA driver and a
fix in Fedora 12's X.org server package for an unrelated problem,
current versions of the said driver have several problems in Fedora
12. In particular, they render KDE almost unusable, as discussed in
the bug report cited above. Fedora does not provide or support these
proprietary drivers and cannot fix this issue. However, users who wish
to use the proprietary driver with Fedora 12 can find an unsupported
alternative build of the X.org server packages in a comment on the bug
report, which several users have reported to work around this issue."
And more importantly, this:

Now not to sound flippant, because I don't know the history there, but
didn't any previous version of Fedora work for you? Of course, that
question only applies if you are expecting to use F12/nVidia drivers
to do professional work that pays your rent. If you are just
exploring and experimenting, then disregard that question.
If you ARE using this to do professional work and pay the rent, the
question stands. There's a reason why corporate IT is notoriously
slow to adopt new software. Again, not being flippant, just curious
about why you'd want to run bleeding edge OSs for production work.
Cheers,
Jeff
