f16 nvidia-graphics304.64 problem
I saw new packages for nvidia-graphics 304.51-149 and 304.64-150 for
kernel 3.6.10-2, which is in Fedora-testing, and gave them a try. I had
304.51 running under 3.6.2-1, but had a file conflict and had to remove
it to install 304.64

On rebooting there was a quick report of a calibration failure, and no
graphics under either of the kernels. I had to remove 304,64 and
reinstall 304.51 from the command line to get back to a usable system.

Device is still GeForce 7500 LE

Awkward, there should be no significant difference between the two drivers.
I am using 304.64 on a rhel6 with a Geforce 7600 just fine.
Regarding the conflict, I solved it by creating a new package
(nvidia-graphics310.19-cuda-proxy), but only for the 310.19, which cannot
be used with your card.
The new package does not need to be installed, in general, and therefore
the conflict
does not happen.

However, the 310.19 has not been built officially in ATrpms ...
