There are new builds due shortly. ATrpms uses the same spec file for building 
across multiple distributions. On occasion, that can cause issues when there 
are significant differences between distro versions. For some reason, 
rpmbuild didn't behave, and device nodes didn't get created after a spec file 
change to account for the way FC3 handles devices (udev). For the moment, you 
can manually create all the necessary nVidia device nodes, and everything 
will be peachy.

Off the top of my head, I believe that would be:

# mknod /dev/nvidia0 c 195 0
# mknod /dev/nvidia1 c 195 1
# mknod /dev/nvidia2 c 195 2
# mknod /dev/nvidia3 c 195 3
# mknod /dev/nvidiactl c 195 255
