Fedora doesn't ship with, or support the nVidia drivers. They only supply the
opensouce nouveau driver for nVidia hardware. Assuming you do have nVidia hardware you
should see the nouveau driver module loaded when you consult the output of
"lsmod".
There are several ways to install the proprietary nVidia drivers. I prefer the RPMfusion
method.
You'd go to
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration and follow the instructions for
enabling the RPMfusion Free and Non-Free repositories.
Then....
yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia kmod-nvidia
Should be sufficient.

drivers... this page came up
http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2014/fedora-20-nvidia-guide/
I had one problem and thats at 3.1 said it didnt exist
3.2 the make font... something about not being a valid font
but at boot I saw the NVIDIA logo before the log on screen came up.
I think I am fixing to do section 4... return the pc back to Neou.
driver and do that rpm fusion.
