Atrpms has a bunch for the current fc10 kernel (2.6.27.21-170.2.56):

nvidia-graphics71.86.07
nvidia-graphics71.86.08
nvidia-graphics71.86.09
nvidia-graphics96.43.09
nvidia-graphics96.43.10
nvidia-graphics96.43.11
nvidia-graphics173.14.15
nvidia-graphics173.14.16
nvidia-graphics173.14.17
nvidia-graphics173.14.18
nvidia-graphics177.76
nvidia-graphics177.80
nvidia-graphics177.82
nvidia-graphics180.18
nvidia-graphics180.22
nvidia-graphics180.29
nvidia-graphics180.35
nvidia-graphics180.37
nvidia-graphics180.41
nvidia-graphics180.44
nvidia-graphics180.51
nvidia-graphics185.13

BTW I'm having good luck with the bleeding-edge 185 nvidia drivers.
Atrpms supposedly makes it easy to switch between several installed
versions without removing current and installing new rpms though I've
never done it.
