It's not rpmfusion at fault. nVidia has not provided a
X.org 1.8 driver
for the 5 series and older card generations. You will need
to use the
open source driver, which should function rather well.

I support your statement. Read it in a review of Fedora 13.
I read it here:

X.org's X Server version 1.8.0, which was released in early April, is responsible for
displaying the graphical user interface. Some of the proprietary graphics drivers, which
are, as usual, not included in Fedora, don't co-operate with this version -- for
example's NVIDIA's Legacy driver for older GeForce graphics cards. NVIDIA's
current Linux driver, on the other hand, is compatible and available to install manually
from add-on repositories such as RPM Fusion
