It's ok now, i used nvidia's 1.0-5336 driver & kernel
module from
atrpms. I don't know why, but it yelled that it has something like
atrpm-config or something like that in deps and it conflicts with my
version of yum. However, workaround was very simple - renaming
yum.conf to yum.conf.backup or whatever, let atrpm-config or whatever
install it's own version of yum.conf, and thed replace it with the old
one.
At least i have the header files! (But i miss livna's config utility)
The link was broken but i found the page - nothing more than flame.
And this "bug" was fixed before 5336. I found more useful information
in
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14
FC1 and other Linux users with nvidia cards and drivers should read it
time after time. Luckily i haven't experienced problems discussed
there yet.

I run it and it puts the module in the kernel. This is for my pci TNT2
card, AGP is already build in the kernel as a module:
CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA=y in .config
What does nvidia/nForce has to say?
