This is the same card I have - I'm using the 7167 drivers from atrpms.
There were problems getting it working though. You need to make sure
you have the latest nvidia-graphics-helpers and run
nvidia-graphics-switch after the rpms are installed. I have the
following nvidia rpms installed:

nvidia-graphics-devices-1.0-4.rhfc3.at
nvidia-graphics-helpers-0.0.10-10.at
nvidia-graphics7167-1.0_7167-67.rhfc3.at
nvidia-graphics7167-kmdl-2.6.10-1.770_FC3-1.0_7167-67.rhfc3.at
nvidia-graphics7167-libs-1.0_7167-67.rhfc3.at

You will obviously need a different nvidia-graphics7167-kmdl
