Hello all,
I am receiving the same error as well.  It seems to happen not only with the 
driver packaged by rpmfusion but also the package from nvidia.  Driver 180.60 
does not seem to have this problem however.   I am not using the akmod-nvidia  
however I did try it and it does not seem to make a difference I still receive 
the same error.
[preed at localhost ~]$ lsmod | grep nouveau
nouveau               470896  1
drm                   205980  2 nouveau

[preed at localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep nvidia
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-185.18.14-2.fc11.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64-185.18.14-1.fc11.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-185.18.14-2.fc11.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-185.18.14-1.fc11.x86_64

I did find a solution to this problem, however, I had to follow these 
directions in this post and everything seems to be working now:

This came from a post to rpmfusion-users list.
