Some of you may know this, but I didn't and thus I'll share what I

The rpmfusion nvidia driver needs a special xorg.conf file. It might
not operate properly with a file that previously operated properly with
say a livna sourced driver.
Specifically, it needs this to be present:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection
Note: Something like that is required by the livna packages (which are
now in RPM Fusion) for years now. The enable/disable scripts add that
part to the config files automatically if everything works fine.
IOW: if you just type "yum install kmod-nvidia" it'll just work. If you
overwrite the config with nvidia-xconfig afterwards then it won't work.
I hope the current driver maintainer fix that soon. Details:

Further: Maintaining the drivers is a whole lot of work. RPM Fusion
afaics could need some people that help with it -- RPM packaging skills
would help, but testing packages, helping to fix bugs and writing
documentation is afaics needed as well. Any volunteers?
