If you are having trouble with this combination (Fedora 11, nVidia 6150, Acer AL1916W, biostar MCP6B M2+), like resolution less than 1440x900, try setting your xorg.conf (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) file like below. It worked for me.
Note: I downloaded the driver below from nVidia's site and installed it after installing Fedora 11.
