Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Looks like the command is "ldconfig >> /var/log/nvidia-installer.log", this is 
no problem, ldconfig generally doesn't give any interesting output.

The file contexts seem OK for that.  I guess that you installed it from a .tar 
file not an rpm package and didn't use restorecon to fix it's label.

Report a bug to whoever provided the collection of files that their install 
script should do the following:
restorecon /usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.6629
restorecon /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.6629

FC3 has SE Linux enabled by default.  Anything that is designed for FC3 has to 
be designed to work with SE Linux.  It seems that the NVIDIA driver archive 
is not designed to do so.  It would be much easier if they just provided a 
RPM.
