I ran into this also, while trying to use kmod-nvidia, to find a solution to bug 476602. Now I have problems fixing problems!
480534 looks more popular :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 480534 ***
After a full yum update on Fedora 10, I am having the very same problem reported by this bug. What makes this bug so annoying is that I am running FC10 under virtualbox. The default display size of the screen is tiny!!! I am unable to expandit, enlarge it or re-config it. F11 is about to be released, and there is still no fix for this bug in F10!!! Well, I guess Fedora is permanently experimental :)
