nvidia driver problem on FC3


I just installed FC3. I also installed NVIDIA driver and edited xorg.conf.
The problem is that when I restart my computer X won't start.
I have to either reistall the driver or do 'modprobe nvidia', then it says 'nvidia taints the kernel' and then I can 'startx'.
When I reboot again the same problem.
Any ideas how to fix that?

Thanks,
