Several tips for installing NVIDIA driver for Fedora 14 are listed below:
1.  Make sure X server is turned off before the installation. The easiest way to do this is to press CTRL+ALT+F2 and log in as root. Type "init 3" in the command line to swtich to the level 3 mode in which X server is off. Then run the installation script. Type "init 5" to switch back to orginial mode after completion.  If "init 3" doesn't work for some reason, an alternative way is to use "killall5" instead.

2. Nouveau driver is the default driver used by Fedora 14 and comflict with NVIDIA driver. It is neccessary to disable nouvea driver before NVIDIA driver is installed. Edit ‘/boot/grub/menu.lst’ and add the following to the end of the kernel line:nouveau.modeset=0. With that done, reboot. It should work. If not, as your computer boots, press the Tab key repeatedly before the Fedora splash screen appears to get the Grub Menu to appear. Press ‘a’ to do a one-time edit of the kernel options (you’ll see the line above appear) and add the words 'nouveau.modeset=0' (no quotes) to the end. 

3. You may stuck in the screen with the Fedora icon in the center after NVIDIA driver is installed. The problem is caused by nouvea driver. Edit grub.conf,
this command adds rdblacklist=nouveau option to /boot/grub/grub.conf
sed -i '/root=/s|$| rdblacklist=nouveau|' /boot/grub/grub.conf mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
