Have the same issue. There seems to have been a change to the way Xorg finds it's drivers. If you have two or more versions of the Nvidia drivers installed then under /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ there will be directories for each version and a sym link pointing to the the one setup to use. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2010-04-01 19:10 nvidia-190.53_drv.so -> nvidia-graphics-190.53/nvidia_drv.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2010-04-01 19:10 nvidia-195.36.15_drv.so -> nvidia-graphics-195.36.15/nvidia_drv.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 69 2010-04-01 19:10 nvidia_drv.so -> /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia-graphics-195.36.15/nvidia_drv.so drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-04-01 19:10 nvidia-graphics-195.36.15 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-04-01 19:10 nvidia-graphics-190.53 For some reason it will always load the nvidia-190.53_drv.so Attempts to get things to work - 1) checked ldconfig setup but /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers is not in it so don't think xorg uses it to find it's drivers. 2) renamed nvidia-graphics-190.53 to XXnvidia-graphics-190.53 3) removed the nvidia-190.53_drv.so sym link. None of the above fixed the problem. Always loaded nvidia-graphics-190.53 driver. To get it to work - 1) tar'ed up the nvidia-graphics-190.53 directory and removed it. Probably good idea to put everything back before removing nvidia-graphics190.53-190.53-120.fc12.i686 package Does anyone know how xorg searches for it's drivers?
