You need to patch the run file then run the newly generated custom run file

Code:

cd /path/to/run_file #change the path to suitwget http://leigh123linux.fedorapeople.org/pub/patches/nvidia_kernel-3.0-rc1.patchchmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-270.41.19.run./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-270.41.19.run --apply-patch nvidia_kernel-3.0-rc1.patch

Code:

[leigh@main_pc Desktop]$ cd nvidia[leigh@main_pc nvidia]$ lsNVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-270.41.19.run[leigh@main_pc nvidia]$ chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-270.41.19.run [leigh@main_pc nvidia]$ wget http://leigh123linux.fedorapeople.org/pub/patches/nvidia_kernel-3.0-rc1.patch--2011-08-14 17:50:33--  http://leigh123linux.fedorapeople.org/pub/patches/nvidia_kernel-3.0-rc1.patchResolving leigh123linux.fedorapeople.org... 85.236.55.7Connecting to leigh123linux.fedorapeople.org|85.236.55.7|:80... connected.HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OKLength: 794 [text/plain]Saving to: `nvidia_kernel-3.0-rc1.patch'100%[======================================>] 794         --.-K/s   in 0s      2011-08-14 17:50:34 (212 MB/s) - `nvidia_kernel-3.0-rc1.patch' saved [794/794][leigh@main_pc nvidia]$ ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-270.41.19.run --apply-patch nvidia_kernel-3.0-rc1.patchVerifying archive integrity...

If you are running rpmfusion akmod-nvidia let me know as I have a patched rpm.
