The short answer is that you may have to boot in vesafb mode and install the
driver using that. If that doesn't work booting in run level three and upgrading
your driver from CLI.
The kernel driver isn't bad for modern hardware, and there are some test
versions (or were last time I looked) before you go closed source. Support for
old ATI hardware seems to have deteriorated, you don't have that problem.

The proprietary driver continued working without a hitch for me when I
upgraded.
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce

I have the rpmfusion repos installed and both the kmod and akmod RPMs
installed.
