K guys, this drover me nuts for liek a day. It's real simple, and it's 
even in the release notes. If you go http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/ 
there, you will see it. It's a udev thing, I don't really understand it 
but basically you have to:

cp -a /dev/nvidia* /etc/udev/devices
chown root.root /etc/udev/devices/nvidia*

So that's it. Real simple, but annoying. One thing, make sure you're 
using the latest 6629 driver, and make sure you do that step AFTER you 
install the driver. -Jesse
