    Hi and Welcome !

    Follow instructions from here. In case you fine those instructions confusing, post the output of this
    Code:
    lspci | grep -i vga
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    What nVidia board are you using? As mentioned in the link provided by DC, the driver depends upon the board you are using. If you go to the nVidia web site, you will be asked what board, OS (32 or 64-bit), and such that you are using before it gives you the list of drivers. Also as mentioned, to install the proprietary driver for nVidia you will have to boot into text mode (run level 3) to run the installer, and when you update your kernel you will have to reinstall it. I've been using the proprietary drivers on CentOS (RHEL) and Ubuntu (laptop) for a number of years without problems. The latest drivers should work just fine with FC13.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    I am using the nVidia GeForce 8600 GT.

    Three steps :

    * Install RPMFusion repository.
    * Add rdblacklist=nouveau at the end of kernel line in grub.conf file. Reboot machine.
    * Execute this code in Terminal to install Nvidia Driver.
    Code:
    su -c 'yum install kmod-nvidia'
    Detailed instructions for RPMFusing repo installation and grub.conf editing are available here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Take risks: if you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise.
